Hi,

I´m facing an annoying problem with a Dlink DSL-502G and Windox XP
SP2.
Everything seems to be working ok, except the DHCP server.
The Dlink is working as a router, and yes, the DHCP server is enabled.
I am using NAT (including NAT RDR rules to use eMule), IP filter,
firewall e everything is working fine.
The XP configuration is trivial, there is nothing to do, just tell it
to obtain an IP automatically, but when the machine is booted with this
configuration it just do not get an IP address, I must use a static IP.
By the way, the ethernet interface is the onboard 10/100MB/s on a NF7-S
v2.0 Abit motherboard.

Any tips about what is going on here ?

TIA,

Luis Bravo

I have heard of locking a Ethernet port at 10 or 100mb rather than autospeed
can cure this at times. Other people have tried a different cable with
success, yes one can be partially defective.

I know it sounds a little silly but give this a try anyway if you have not
already tried it.
1) Shut down your computer completely and power it off.
2) Power off your DLink.
3) Turn the power on ONLY to the Dlink and wait for all of the standard
lights to stabilize, I usually try and wait 3 to 5 minutes.
4) Power on the computer and see if it gets an IP address after Windows is
loaded.

If none of this helps I'm sure someone else around here will be able to help
you out.

Is your firewall allowing DHCP traffic? Off hand I don't remember which
ports DHCP uses but when I did use DHCP I had to allow those ports in my
firewall.

Hi,

I want to thank you all for your suggestions but an idea just came to
my mind right know.
When I installed XP I spend some time hardening the system, so I
disabled some services I didn`t use.
I am pretty sure one of this services is, guess what, "DHCP client" :)
!
I am not home right now, so I can´t verify if "DHCP client" is
disabled, but I am certain my "problem" is it.

Once again thank you for your reply.

As i suspected, my "problem" was just the "DHCP client" service disable
:).
But in the end I kept a static IP configuration because I have an
incoming NAT rule at the router redirecting eMule ports to my invalid
address, so I need to be sure I will always get the same IP address.
