DHCP is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - its odd that Calibre should be waiting on such a thing, the DHCP Server normally does its job at boot up, and goes back to sleep until the next boot.
Can you tell us something of your environment
- are you on a big corporate network, if so then you need to talk to the Corporate iT folks
- are you using a mobile phone connection to get to the internet - do mobile phone connections even use a DHCP server, surely they get their IP addy from the phone company - I have no idea. I'm lucky if I can even make a voice call on my mobile.
- are you at home with a single computer and an off the shelf commodity router with some sort of broadband connection to an ISP, then you should be using DHCP, which means you will need a local DHCP server, and that's typically something your router provides.
I'll assume its 3
Go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center
You should see a link under the Internet Globe to
Local Area Network Click it and a dialogue box will appear showing traffic volumees (bytes sent & received) and a Button called Details - Click this button and you should see, something like this
If DHCP Enabled is No then - that's something that makes me go Hmmm
If DHCP Enabled is Yes then check out the TCP/IP configuration by following this MS link
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...CP-IP-settings
If DHCP is not enabled, could you explain why so.
If you have something odd in your TCP/IP configuration then I cant imagine why Calibre should be sensitive to it and not your browser, email client, ITunes and all the other stuff that calls home to look for updates etc etc, do you run a torrent client or FTP client - are they all OK ?
