OK, here’s one that’s been bugging me to no end. Most of the PC’s running their DHCP clients are working great (all Win98 or Win98SE). They boot up first thing in the morning and get their dynamic IP address assigned to them and, of course, are able to login to the domain. There are a few however, that simply won’t. The login screen comes up but the message “No domain server found, etc..” When I cancel through it and run WINIPCFG (or IPCONFIG) to check the ip address, it’s completely wrong(My scope is 209.x however it shows 169.x which would explain why it can’t find the PDC or BDCs). Now if I hit the Renew button, it finds the address first try and I can “logoff” and then login correctly.
Any takers?
