On each such network there should be one device that hears that request and responds with something like “Here ya go: you will be 192.168.1.4 – and by the way, when you want to talk to others on your network, here’s some more information, and when you want to send something to the internet, send it here.” If you check your IP on your machine and it starts with ‘169.’ that’s a made-up IP address.Ī DHCP request for a dynamic IP address is very simple: your computer broadcasts to all the devices listening on its network “Would the DHCP server listening please assign me an IP address!”. That means that rather than permanently assigning a specific IP to that machine, the machine “asks” for an IP address when it connects to the network.ĭynamic IP addresses are simpler to configure, and allow for IP addresses to be re-used when the machines that they were temporarily assigned to are taken offline. The vast majority of machines are configured to connect to the network using DHCP to get what’s called a “dynamic” IP address. It’s that last one that needs a little explanation.Īn IP address is how your computer is located on its network. Your computer’s request for an IP address went unanswered.That means that it detects that the network cable is plugged in, or that it was able to connect to a wireless access point. Your computer detects that a network is present and operating.Your computer was able to connect the network in one way, but was unable to complete the next step.
Physical Address.“Limited connectivity” happens when your computer can connect to the network … but it can’t.
: Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (2) I218-V Here is what I get when I type in ipconfig /all My router/modem is all in one, provided by my ISP, Comcast. Any help would be appreciated! Just ask if you need more information than what I provided. But, if I try to renew it, it says its unable to reach the DHCP server. My WIFI works through my laptop, the Ethernet works on my laptop too, but the Ethernet on my gaming PC just doesn't work. I even did a fresh install of Windows 10 to see if this works and my problem still persists. Even tried to call Microsoft, Comcast(My ISP), a local technician and they have no clue how to fix this. I literally tried every solution to fix this problem and nothing has worked. I've had this problem now since Thursday night. First post here and hopefully it will be a good one.
