Vista - Ipconfig Release/Renew Problem.

Jshizzy · 10-02-2008

So I've been sitting here for about three hours, not able to get this too work.

When I open my cmd(yes as admin) and type ipconfig /release or /renew nothing happens, it just pretends it is doing something for a long period of time.

I reset my winstock so that is not the problem.

I tried editing the DCHP **** in regedit.

All plugs are in and working, I have three other computers in here (mac's) that are having no trouble getting internet connection. Must be something with Vista.

This is my Ipconfig /all

Code:

 
Host Name .... : User-Pc
Primary Dns Suffix : 
Node Type : Hyrbid
Ip Routing Enabled : No
WINS proxy enabled: No
 
Connection-Specific DNS Suffix : 
Description : NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller

DCHP enabled : Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled : Yes
Link-Local Ipv6 Adress : fe80::15f6:d475:bef1:xxxx(preferred)

Default Gateway: 
DNS servers: fec0:0:0:ffff : : 1%1

Connection-Specific DNS suffix :

Autoconfiguration Enabled : yes
 
Tunnel Adapter Local Area Connection* 11:
Media State : Media Disconnected

Description : Isatap. {xxxxxxxx-xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx407}
Physical Adress: 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-E0
DCHP Enabled: no
Autoconfiguration Enabled : yes

I really have no idea what I need to do to fix this, I have already done three+ hours of troubleshooting.... so just throw out your ideas please.

Much appreciated, Jshizzy.

Are you sure that you've got a physical connection and that there is a DHCP server available? Have you tested with a different patch cable?

Windows only defaults to a "169.254.xxx.xxx" address when it cannot find a DHCP server.

Have you tried using a static IP just to see if you can get connected?
