I Have a new dell machine which is set to automatically detect the dhcp server (ip address) but it does not detect the dhcp server and sets its self a private ip 169.254.0.0 address. I have tried ipconfig from the cmd and it will not release when i do this and reboot the ip is set 0.0.0.0 and then pics upthe private address. the renew command returns the message unable to connect-time out error, is the a hardware problem or program problem.
