I am seeing a scrolling renew of a IP addresses from time to time.

On a NetWare 6.0 SP3 server, periodically the DHCP screen will scroll
attemting to hand out an IP to a 2000 class workstation.

This workstation will then have problems connecting to the server,
almost like it is loosing its IP and then regaining it.

The DHCPLOG is full with just handing out the specific workstation's
IP. the NIC is a Intel(R) Pro/100 VM and the PC is running Client
4.83 SP1.

DHCP version 3.12.06.

I'm not sure if this is a DHCP issue or not, but DHCP seems to be the
indicator of the problem.

Thanks in advance,
Craig.

Apply tcp607k.exe to this server, as well as the latest driver for your
nic. What nic is that?

Compaq Proliant ML370 G2, 7131 NIC connected to an HP 4108g Switch/Gig
module running CE1000.LAN drivers.

I was trying to trace the problem back to its start and it appears to
have started after SP3, but not 100% sure. We also implemented manual
addressing from DHCP at that time. I was running the N1000 drivers
for a while then decided to try the CE1000 drivers. I do know
changing the drivers have had no effect.

IP Stack Currently running:
TCP - 6.06.11 - 3/13/03
TCPIP - 6.07.08 - 2/27/03
BSDSOCK - 6.05.08 - 3/13/03

What drivers do you recommend for the NC7131?

Craig.

Thanks Massimo.

I'll post a follow-up after I apply.

That would be correct. It's a known issue with the tcpip stack in SP3


and select nic drivers. Apply the patch I mentioned.

The latest from HP/Compaq.
