One of four machines on a home wired/wireless LAN is experiencing a
strange problem. It is an XP Home SP3 system with a wireless LAN
adapter. When the machine starts up it frequently is not able to
establish a network connection without a lot of human intervention. In
the System Event log I see a long string of pairs of an Info message
that records successful DHCP negotiation for an IP address followed
immediately by a Warning event notifying that the system was unable to
acquire an IP address via DHCP. This is repeated every five seconds. If
I manually disable/enable the connection it will usually work, although
if the machine is idle for more than a few minutes it frequently loses
the connection and the cycle begins again. Other wireless clients
running XP Home, XP Pro and Vista work fine. Any idea what could cause
this?
Thanks.
