Persistent Problem With Network

[VictorVitao666]

Hi, every day when i turn my computer it says that the network i'm connected to cannot provide internet (that little yellow warning sign) but my phone is running just fine. I have resorted to the command center and do a bunch of commands, but every day the same thing. Recently i have jus used ipconfig /renew. It gives me an error (An error occurred while renewing interface Ethernet : The requested address is not valid in its context.) but i wait 10 seconds and it works. Any one know how i can stop this. I use Powerline Ethernet if that is something important to know.

Could be a hiccup between your powerline adapters having to sync up when your PC boots up. Not much else you can do to confirm or disprove this without connecting directly to the router/switch/whateverthefucksnotpowerline

I'm thinking if you manually assign your ip address on the PC it will start to work as soon as the network is available.

jup, that could help. 

 

usually, when you boot up the computer, it gets an IP adress assigned by the routers DHCP - this is not instant and can take a few seconds depending on the router. 

 

if you assign an IP manually the PC does not have to wait for the router to recognise it.

more to the point the dhcp wont time out and assign the default address thereby having to wait for the dhcp lease time to expire before renewing.

One point here though. If you assign a static IP via the router and the router is not aware that it should not assign that IP elsewhere, it could do just that. Then you have two devices on the network trying to have the same IP and the last to join the network will not function. Unless you know what you are doing with DHCP spaces and network masks, I'd leave it be. There is nothing wrong with the current operation.

I refer you back to the title of the thread

@keskparane might be right. You can assign a static IP. BUT I would go in to the routers settings. Check to see where the DHCP pool starts. I know some routers start the last number of the IP at 100. Meaning 2-99 are available to use. You can also change this. Just make sure what ever address you use is not with in the DHCP pool, then you will be ok.

Agree, check the LAN DHCP range/pool, re-configure if needed so that you have a bunch of addresses you can assign statically. Eg range from 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.100, this will make it so that the DHCP range/pool only has 99 addresses, but should be fine unless you have a large client base. Then you can assign static addresses anything between 192.168.1.101 - 192.168.1.254... make sure the routers own address is 192.168.1.1 for the config I have suggested above, if it is different than that then you will have to adjust as necessary.
