I often see this simple issue caused by bad wiring, or bad cables. Verify
the cables with a cable tester or known good pc. Move another computer or
laptop to the location.

Check speed and duplex on the host. I have seen hosts that had to have a
static ip and could not get a dhcp lease during the above issues.

Also verify available ip's are free on the dhcp server for the additional
pc, and last if its windows 200X server verify the scope is still
authorized.

Hi,

One of our LAN has a weired issue. When a pc trying to request an ip, dhcp
server assigned to it, but it cannot take and keep waiting. In router arp
table, see one MAC address with multiple ip, actually with all available ip
in the dhcp pool. A windows local server in the LAN and Cisco VPN router and
2 Nortel Baystact switch and 2 NetGear switch.

Pls help!

Josh
