Vista - DHCP-Client spam in eventlog

Hello I was just looking in my eventlog and I noticed that each 15th second I
am sucessfully assigned a new IP address which I have no clue on why?

This is the message I get:
[General]
Your computer was successfully assigned an address from the network, and it
can now connect to other computers.

[ Name] Microsoft-Windows-Dhcp-Client

I guess my question is, why do my eventlog get spammed with this when all my
NICs already have an IP assigned?

What is the lease time of the IPaddress you are getting or Do you have
DHCP-NAP enabled network ?
If the lease time is very shorter , then you will see this getting logged in
the eventviewer quite often.
If DHCP-NAP is enabled and any health state change is happening on the
Client machine also you will see this happening.

Thank you for your reply!

The thing is the router me and my girlfriend are connected to have DHCP
enabled. But I want to make sure I always get the IP 192.168.0.3 (it has
happened that it has switched IP's before even if MAC address hasn't
changed), so I'm using a static IP (192.168.0.3) to make sure I always get (I
know I know, pretty stupid but the port forwarding doesn't work on MAC or
Computername, just IP so when it mixed up a long time ago my girlfriend got
my ports open and vice versa.).

So there is no lease time .
However, I have hamahaci installed and that has a lease time of 3 minutes
and 48 seconds.

I just wish the eventlog could be more specific on what IP address I was
assigned with etc.

I've also disabled IPv6 etc. to make sure it doesn't have anything to do
with that :P.

Thanks!

How did you disable IPv6 on Vista?
-> IPv4 and IPv6 are on the same stack. Disabling one cause weird stuff to happen.
-> If you have connectivy I personaly won't worry about it
-> If you looking for some other events in the log you can filter the event log
->Otherwise my guess is that to really fix this you'd need to uninstall and re-install TCP/IP I'd suggest you get a Phone ticket with a MS Tech to help you do that.
