The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

XP - NIC will not pick up DHCP address

Asked by westone in Miscellaneous Networking, Network Cards & Adapters, Domain Name Service (DNS)

Tags: dhcp, xp, pick, up, nic

Hi,
This has me stumped: An XP Home Dell on a LAN suddenly does not get network settings from DHCP. The NIC gets an automatic private address from XP. It had been working fine for months prior to this.

The machine was moved to another LAN with a known working connection to a router providing DHCP.

I replaced the NIC twice, with 2 different brands right out of the box. With the first replacement, the new NIC did the same thing. When the second new NIC went in, it will not install properly (it's a D-Link, and XP reports only that"There was an error installing the new hardware - The specified file could not be found").

I checked for spyware using Ad-Aware and Spybot. I re-installed NAV (due to a seperate problem), updated and scanned for viruses (none found).

I reset TCP/IP using netsh.

I performed a Repair install of XP as a last ditch effort, and to my surprise it did not help the problem.

I need advice on possible causes and solutions. Formatting and re-installing? Please NOOOOO!
