In my event viewer I see every six minutes the following event (ID 1007)
DHCP failed to obtain a lease for the card with network address 005004945226. On multi-homed machine all subsequent adapters will also fail to obtain lease. The following error occurred :
The semaphore timeout period has expired.
I have a dell notebook which is docked when I’m in the office and undocked at home.
The docking station has it’s own ethernet card and I have a PCMCIA ethernet card in the notebook.Both Ethernet cards are set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server automically.
When the notebook is docked only the ethernet card of the docking station is getting it’s IP address but the PCMCIA card also tries to get an IP address which is not possible because it’s not connected to the network.
I tried to create an extra (undocked) profile and remove the PCMCIA adapter from the docked profile but when I restart (docked) windows NT finds the PCMCIA card again and wants to install the drivers for it.
How can I solve this.
