Screwed up network

Hi all:

I have a WS 2003 machine connected to the internet via a cable modem.
However for SOME reason the machine WILL NOT pull an IP from the ISP DHCP
server, it cannot connect to the internet at all. When I run IPCONFIG it
brings back some crazy IP Address that I never assigned and do not know
where it came from....Has anyone seen this and/or have a solutions?

Thanks.

John.

From a command prompt
ipconfig /all
may reveal something.

Hi Guys:

Thanks for the responses and sorry about my useless reply, bit of a harried
morning! The IP Below, 169.254.36.232, is what I meant by a "screwed up" IP.
I don't know where it's coming from, the network adapter is al set to
DHCP...I have a Windows XP machine configured the same way and it works like
a champ...

John.

When your pc is set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, and it can't
find one it resorts to Automatic Private IP Addressing and you get an ip
assigned in the range of 169.254.0.0-169.254.255.255 If you have ICF enabled
it may be blocking ports 67 and 68 UDP which would cause this. The best
solution is to install a broadband router between the cable modem and the
private network.

Hi Dave:

Ah, so that explains THAT. However, I do not have ICF enabled so I wonder if
those ports are blocked an by what?

Also, I do have a router, but my issue is that I am trying to run 2 web
servers using the TZO DDNS service, and also connect the servers to my LAN
through a 2nd NIC card with a static IP. BUT TZO cannot find the path to the
internet with 2 NICS, so I tried just plugging the machine into a hub
working off the cable modem (I am allowed 3 IPs) but I am having these
problems and I cannot figure out why.

As I said, my Win XP machine has 2 NICs, one to hub, gets an IP no problem,
and one to the router via a local, static dummy IP...

For Web Server 1 I have the TZO service installed on the router and it
forwards port 80 with no issues. For web server 2 I tried to install the TZO
client on the machine, but it cannot work with the 2 NICs, so I disabled the
LAN but for some reason the internet NIC just cannot get out. I tried
uninstalling the NIC, disable/re-enable, ipconfig /renew, total power off of
whole system including cable modem....nothing seems to work....

Any thoughts as to what I should try next?

John.

From Windows XP do an
ipconfig /all
note the DHCP server IP address then on Windows 2003 (temp plugged into the
hub)
ping the DHCP server IP address
What do you get?
