dhcp service broken

zerospinboson · 09-22-2008, 10:54 AM

Does anyone know what to do when the DHCP client on the iLiad is broken (i can still connect using a static IP, but when i leave it on auto it won't connect in both wired and wireless modes) other than to reset the iLiad to factory defaults?
I'm hoping i can avoid doing so..

bump?

These may be obvious questions... but do you have a dhcp server on your local network? Did a dynamic IP on the iLiad ever work for you on this network? Do you have other computers currently getting dynamic IPs?

I can't think of why the dhcp client on the iLiad would just stop working... maybe the problem is elsewhere?

no, it's not that.. DHCP servers work fine, and it worked last week, but has stopped working since.

I don't know then. If it were me, the next thing I would do is look at the dhcp server's error logs and/or run a network trace to see if the dhcp client is broadcasting a request. That'll help narrow down whether it's the iLiad or something else.

If it is the iLiad you're likely going to either need shell access to troubleshoot it more, or else contact iRex for support. I don't remember any other threads about this particular problem, and haven't seen it myself, so can't really offer a better suggestion.
