DHCP Renew Failing

We have a Win2003 Server running DHCP and WinXP desktops connecting through
an HP ProCurve 4000M switch. Our desktops are getting repeated DHCP errors:
Event ID 1003 - "Your computer was not able to renew its address from the
network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card..." The errors occur
approximately every hour. Eventually, the desktop loses network connection
and must be rebooted.

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

Any errors being logged on the DHCP server.
With the info provided the problem can be network or the DHCP server itself.
Check for credentials on the Server.

Hey Kevin,

According to
http://www.microsoft.com/products/ee...=5.2.3790.1830 a
couple answers are:

If communication between the DHCP client and the DHCP server is not
established automatically, check the following possible causes and take
corrective action:


a.. The DHCP server is down or not responding.
b.. The DHCP relay is not functioning correctly.
c.. The network is down.
d.. The firewall on your computer is blocking out network broadcast
traffic.
e.. Your computer's network interface card or driver is not functioning
correctly.
Take a look at that article and let us know if it helps!
