DHCPRequest for 0.0.0.0

[Defryn, Guy]

The clients don't run vista.
Any other ideas?

cheers

It may not be anything like what I had, but I used to get that on my network on the odd occasion.

It turned out it was a client issue, mostly it was customers using windows vista without any service packs..

 

Updating clients pc's with the latest service packs, or:

Hi,

 

Someone reported that one of their clients is unable to DHCP.
Looking at the leases file, there is an active lease and it should be working.
When looking into logs I found the entries below.

 

It seems to get an ACK but at the same time another Request for 0.0.0.0 goes out.
Why would a client issue another request after getting an ACK? Is there an issue on the client side?
