What would you do if you discovered that your computer was using APIPA on a network that has a functioning DHCP server (assume you are working with a computer running Windows)?

What will be an ideal response?


If the IP address is an APIPA address, you know instantly that you have a DHCP problem. First of all, try to reestablish the lease manually. Every OS has some way to do this. In Windows, you can type the following command: ipconfig /renew. Sometimes you might find yourself in a situation where your computer gets confused and will not grab an IP address no matter what you try. In these cases, you should first force the computer to release its lease with the ipconfig /release command. Then issue the ipconfig /renew command.
