There are numerous possible causes but without more detail it’s hard to provide
anything meaningful.
What DHCP server is running?
Is it on the same IP subnet / vlan?
Are there any log entries or either the client or the server to indicate
attempts to communicate?
Are these new machines or existing machines which suddently stopped getting an
IP?

Subject: [NTSysADM] Unable to obtain IP from DHCP server
Hi all
We are encountering a problem with some of our Windows 7 workstations and which
are on the same LAN. 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? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Pierre
