dhcp server is issuing an expired lease date, on one computer
« on: October 03, 2010, 02:56:57 PM »
My DIR-615 wireless router's dhcp service is issuing am expired release date on this one computer "June 3 10:59:39 1936. when I do an ipconfig /all on that computer it shows a current renew and release date, but the connectivity on this computer is all but nonexistent. If I do a repair often enough on this computers local area connection, I will get a real release date on on the DIR-615, and the computers internet connection is much better, but still not as fast as on an identical computer. Any ideas. :(

First thing that comes to mind it to check your DHCP lease time. Default is 10080 min. I would also check the time on the router, make sure that is correct. But your issue isn't 100% clear. Are you using PPPoE and or DHCP. Because if the latter, and if your talking about the 192 IP the router gives out, then the lease end time shouldn't matter. Mine is set for 2146, LOL. But if its causing a connectivity issue, then just set a DHCP reservation and they it will make the IP lease never run out. If that still doesn't work, make sure your DHCP is set to always broadcast. Also, make sure your DHCP client is started: start > run > Services.msc

Thank you for your response,  I went in to make sure what the release time was set for, and to check the expiration date on the computer I was having problems with. I noticed the "problem computer was set to a good expiration date , but one of my other computers had the bad date "1936" so I went and checked the speed on this computer and it was normal 20,000 Kbps down, and 4,500 Kbps up.  I then realized it could not be the wireless router, to make a long story short,  I disabled the onboard NIC and put an old SMC 10/100 I had in the problem computer  and that did it, no problems connecting, and the same speeds as the other computer.
So again I want to thank you very much for your response, if you had nor responder I would not have looked at the router today. and I would still be scratching my head.
