In my event viewer I keep getting the message that my computer is unable to renew its address from the network (from DHCP server) for the network card.The solution is to go to services and start the DHCP server.I don't have DHCP server in my services screen.Can someone explane it to me? Thanks

DHCP server

hurtingbad, you should not need to run a DHCP *server* on your system unless it is acting as a gateway, for example. Most people who use DHCP will run the *client* service on their PC so that it will contact a DHCP server -- from a WAP, router, cable/DSL modem, etc. -- that will provide IP information to the PC.

hurtingbad, this is what I expected. Note that the source of this event is the DHCP Client which is running on your PC. It suggests that your PC is having trouble obtaining an IP address from the DHCP server which, as explained above, is something outside of the PC. Do you have a router or a broadband modem? Whatever is at the other end of your PC's ethernet cable is probably acting as the DHCP server.
How often do you get these events? Is there a pattern or regular time interval?
