DHCP Failure

[Mihai-Florin.Necula]

Hi,

Is the IP-Address of your computer in the same subnet?

Hi Steph,
On my home LAN the IP of my computer is 192.168.1.200 and now (after the hard reset) the station has 192.168.1.235 (mask 255.255.255.0) so they should be in the same subnet. Router is also on 192.168.1.1 (mask is 255.255.0.0). Both the light on the router and on the station show that the cable is connected and transmitting some kind of data but for some reason the I cannot even ping the station from both the router or computer.
This is not a new problem as it also appeared in the past (and with similar behaviour). It was usually sorted out by shutting down both router and station, but now this solution is not valid anymore. Even if my router works fine, I would be tempted to see it as an router issue but I do not know how to test this.

I also reset to factory defaults my router and the same thing happens. I cannot access the station.
The station notices when I unplug the wire or reset the router (Check network cable error) but once the cable is plugged in (or the router working) the same DHCP failure! message appears.
So the router does not see the station as trying to connect/the mac does not show in the router tables (even if the network lights on both router and station are blinking).
