Hi everyone, I am desktop support for a small company in the UK. I ahve noticed that when turning machines on that havent been on for a few weeks the IP addresses get snaffled by other machines and the status is “limited or no connectivity”. This isnt just on one machine by the way it has happened lots fo times…
I have tried doing ipconfig /release and renew as well as rebooting the machine several times, tried repairing the connection by right clicking on it and choosing “repair” and also ipconfig /flushdns as well as doing a gpupdate /force. All cables and stuff are connected fine and this occurs on laptops and pcs scattered all around our offices. All cables are fine and everythign in the patch panel is fine. The network activity LEDs on the NIC and patch panel both light up. Anything I might have missed?
