Windows ME networked with Windows XP Pro - DHCP...
Hi guys,
I have a desktop pc (running windows ME) connected to a laptop via an ethernet cable. The Laptop has a broadband connection and I am running internet connection sharing. My question is, will WinME hang if it can not renew its address from the DHCP server, on the laptop? Will any NIC related problems cause WinME to hang? Cheers. Clive |

Clive,
If when booting Win Me cannot see the DHCP server bootup will be delayed somewhat after which the NIC will be automatically assigned a private address after which no further delays should be experienced unless you attempt to access the laptop for some reason. I can't for the life of me remember the block of private IP addresses used but it is not the 192.168.x.x block used by Internet Connection Sharing nor as far as I recall the 10.x.x.x block which I suppose then means it has to be one between 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255 but cannot be sure about that. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP C D wrote: Hi guys, I have a desktop pc (running windows ME) connected to a laptop via an ethernet cable.

Windows ME networked with Windows XP Pro - DHCP...
Hi Mike,
I am just trying to troubleshoot why Windows ME is hanging on me, and this could be a possibility. Basically I have 3 machines, but at any one time only two are connected together, one of which has to be the laptop, as it is connected to the internet. I own two dekstop pcs and one laptop pc. One desktop pc runs XP pro, the other Win ME and the laptop XP Pro. Yesterday, I had the WinME+WinXP combination, and the machine would lock up. It would see the internet ok for a time, but then after a while, everything would freeze and I would have to do a manual reset. When I had the WinXP+WinXP combination, I discovered that the desktop pc was having problems renewing its address from the DHCP server on the laptop [I looked at event viewed in XP Pro on the desktop]. So the WinXP desktop doesn't fall over when the DHCP address cannot be renewed, after startup, but will the WinME one fall over? Cheers, Clive "Mike M" wrote in message ...

Correction - I meant to say:
"which I suppose then means it has to be one between 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255 but cannot be sure about that." -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Mike M wrote: Clive, If when booting Win Me cannot see the DHCP server bootup will be delayed somewhat after which the NIC will be automatically assigned a private address after which no further delays should be experienced unless you attempt to access the laptop for some reason.

Thanks,
I knew it wasn't the 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x block and didn't really think it was the 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255. Now I see you post the IP range used my memory comes flooding back. :-) -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP N. Miller wrote: In article , Mike M says...
