On the affected machines, do they get an IP address assigned other than maybe a self-assigned address (169.254.x.x)?
I’m just thinking about the possibility that someone has put another DHCP “server” on the network. For example, a consumer grade router. *From:* listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] *On Behalf Of *Ed Ziots *Sent:* Friday, March 10, 2017 10:18 AM *To:* ntsysadm@lists.myitforum.com *Subject:* Re: [NTSysADM] Unable to obtain IP from DHCP server Wrong ip helper setting on router or switch configuration settings for the ports?

They are unable to obtain an IP from the DHCP server and the only solution is to set a static IP which of course works. I cannot understand why this is happening to just a few. The others work fine. Could this be due to some system corruption? I’ve tried resetting the TCP/IP network stack and the Winsock all to no avail. Has anyone encountered this issue before?
