Yes, this problem has cropped up here at UCSB (I think I might have =
mentioned it once or twice before, in fact), and....surprise! The only =
work-around I was able to discover was manually entering IP/DNS info, =
then switching back to DHCP.
Let's hear it for Innovation(TM)!

Subject: WindowsXP home and pro won't renew dns
Hello,
=20
Here at UCI we have been experiencing a problem with WinXP home and pro. =
We have a linux box for a DHCP and Registration server. When a new user =
plugs in and their MAC address is not registered they will receive a =
bogus DNS address that resolves to the Apache Registration page. Once =
they register, wait for 5 or 10 minutes, they can restart or do a simple =
ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew.
=20
Now, on all other OS's, including a bunch of XP computers, this works =
just fine. The ipconfig /renew brings back the ip address again, gateway =
and the correct dns. However, we found that not all XP machines will =
release the dns address and keep getting directed to our registration =
page.
=20
We tried uninstalling the card, removing the tcp/ip stack, changing the =
dns address in the registry, starting and restarting, releasing and =
renewing....all to no avail. Nothing we do will get the new dns number =
renewed. As an interim solution we simply enter the correct dns =
manually after the resident registers. This is a weak work-around.
=20
Digging through the MS Knowledge Base provides no answers either.
=20
So.....finally...has anyone else come across this problem, and if =
so....what's the solution??? Help.
