Please don't top post, it makes it difficult to follow the thread. Insert your reply into the previous post. Thanks. If you go back to the Cisco DHCP server does the Win m/c get a new address ok? If so then there is some issue with your server or the PC's access to the server. If not then it is not your server but is a Win problem. In the latter case a Windows support list might be able to help. One thing you might try, if it is a Win issue, is to set it to fixed IP on a different address then back to DCHP. Of course you could just admit defeat and set it to an appropriate fixed address and leave it there. One further thought, if the PC is ok on the Cisco server, how is the PC connected to your DHCP server? Is it possible that its DHCP request is not getting to the server? That thought is not consistent with the unknown lease message mentioned earlier however. I believe that message is expected when a client asks to continue using its old address. At that point however the server should issue it with a new address of course.
