ip address issues
Hello folks,
1st off what an excellent forum and resource. Always come here to look up probs with w7.
Here is my problem. w7 seems to be holding onto my IP address and causing probs. let me explain further. Say I connect to network A and I am assigned an address from a DHCP server (I have no idea what underlying technology is supplying the IP address). then I go home and connect to my home network. Now at my home "network b" gives me another dhcp assigned IP address. I connect fine with a valid address.
If I return to network A the only way I am able to pickup a new IP address is by going to the command prompt and doing a release and renew. It doesnt matter if I am coming out of hibernation or booting up fresh, it always picks up the last IP address it had, which in some case may be already re-assigned elsewhere causing a conflict.
I have the latest service packs and OS updates as well as the latest drivers for my nic card. The problem only seems to occur when I connect to my corporate network. Any thoughts?
