| 728657 | 2008-12-13 11:12:00 | If you're talking about Disabling the service, make sure you change startup type to disabled and stop the service, then restart the computer However, if DHCP is disabled in your modem, then there isn't much to worry about, as the modem won't give out addresses anyway. |

| 728659 | 2008-12-13 11:25:00 | It won't be using DHCP if obtain an IP address automatically is unchecked. This might be what you want though. To disable the DHCP Client service, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. 2. Double-click Administrative Tools. 3. Double-click Services. 4. Double-click DHCP Client. 5. In the Startup type list, click Disabled. 6. Click Stop, and then click OK. |

| 728661 | 2008-12-13 12:29:00 | No need to flame when you're asking for help, it wont win you any friends fast... Two things to bear in mind here: Theres DHCP Servers (Which give DHCP addresses) & DHCP Clients (That receiving DHCP addresses). Disabling the service is all fine and dandy if you dont want your computer to GIVE DHCP Addresses, but I get the feeling thats *not* actually your problem. You said you stopped the service in your Modem, so Im guessing you're wanting to stop your PC form GETTING a DHCP Address. Chances are you actually *have* stopped it, but when Windows trys to get an IP Address from DHCP and fails, then it'll revert to an IP Address in the range of 169.X.X.X Tell us WHY you want it disabled and we might be able to help you further. In the mean time it seems that you've already achieved what you set out to on your own, prior to coming here. As a final note, dont get cranky at the other members offering help, especially when you're not being the clearest as explaining yourself (With some pretty broken english I might add). Chill. |

| 728662 | 2008-12-13 16:25:00 | LOL....sorry, was a little frustrated the problem is that my lan connection to my bro doesnt connect because of dhcp.....his router is old and doesnt support it....so the onlu way i can connect to his place is to disable it....but i wone let me.....ther is something somewhere that is still using DHCP......odd also when ever i try to put in an ip to connect to my bros place....it resets my internet conection settings as well....so i have to put that all in aswell.............would that be because they are both onboard nic's?....would it help if i got another nic? it also asks me to restart every time i make a change...and if i do restart them it resets everything back to defaults...and i have to put all the info back in....then it asks me to restart...and the whole thing repeats.....but if i ignore the restart option...i can connect to his place and play games......but i still have to put in my internet settings after i have finished playing, and disable my connection to my bros house...otherwise i dont get internet i am totally lost here and am deeply sorry for raging |

| 728663 | 2008-12-13 18:54:00 | Why does DHCP not work at his place? Are you linking the two machines directly? Basically, do this on your brothers PC: Click Start --> Run --> cmd now type: ipconfig You'll see his details, put them in to your PC, but in the IP Address box, make it +1 e.g his is 192.168.0.12 Make yours: 192.168.0.13 The Subnet and Gateway should be identical If you want to set your DNS, make them: 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 As for changing them back and forth? Thats just part of the joy of networking ... all the more reason for you to get DHCP setup at his place, keeps things easily. What router make / model does he have? IF the settings arent being saved correctly, chances are you have some form of spyware / malware. If thats the case, grab HiJackThis, run it and post the log back here. You have up-to-date antivirus? |

| 728664 | 2008-12-13 20:14:00 | Does the OP still have DHCP on his NIC?.... | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 728665 | 2008-12-13 20:47:00 | how about just assigning a static IP address using the network range on your brother's LAN? Just a thought? This will stop your machine from trying to obtain an IP address regardless of whether DHCP is in use or not. Cheers, |
