  • Client DHCP is unable to get a valid IP address from the DHCP server.

    Client DHCP is unable to get a valid IP address from the DHCP server. I have a home edition of Windows XP attempts to connect to my router wirelessly with wireless or wired connection but I get an error in Event Viewer with the discription DHCP 1007 error message. From what I researched, I discovered that the DHCP service depends on the AFD, TCP/IP and NetBT services. All these services are correctly place and worked very well (even the DHCP service is running without error) but every time I try to release/renew my IP address I receive than DHCP warning in the case where the viewer and I just cannot get a valid IP address of the server (router) I also have one of these verizon wireless G3 usb adapters and it works fine. I also have a good ping back when I try to do a ping localhost (for the closure) I also tried the preinstallation of uninstalled drivers from the adapter/s and nothing works.

    Thanks for the information.

    I hope you know that it is risky to connect the laptop to the Internet with no firewall and no antivirus... If this laptop is already connected to the Internet in this State, he is perhaps already infected.

    You said you know the router works because the other computers can connect successfully to it.  You should check the configuration of the router to make sure that it is not configured to limit the number of IP address it supplies, and (b) it is not configured to filter users by MAC address.

    When this laptop is connected by Ethernet, even if he gets the IP address of 169.254.x.y, can you ping the router?  Find the IP address of the router on any computer connected to it by running the ipconfig command in a command prompt window.  The "default gateway" is the IP address of the router.  Run the ping command in the command prompt window as well.

    If the ping is successful, it is possible that you might be able to use an IP address in the correct range for an Ethernet cable (but I doubt that it works for the wireless).

  • The intention to restore the computer to factory settings. How can I get Win10 again?

    I have an emachine at less than ten years now. Originally it had installed Win7 on it and last year I got the free update of Win10. No problem downloading or installation, have no problem with it, but this poor old clunky machine is to his last breath. I want to do a "restore to factory settings. I know it will destroy everything, and I guess he'll reinstall Win7, after which I would download and re - install Win10 just like I did before.

    Can I do this?

    Should I have my registration key of Win10?

    Where would he get this information?

    Win10 is still available as a free download/install as if it were last year?

    I don't want to restore on Win7 to see that now I have to buy the Win10 I'm currently using for free, I want to know ahead what to expect and what will be expected of me until I push the button.

    Yes, I know, I need a new computer, but it is not the budget for it right now. It's why I can't really afford to buy Win10 if I don't have one.

    Thank you

    JaeMmb

    Yes, you can.

    Format your system and install Windows 7 and turn it on.

    After coming to start windows update and when your windows 7 updated, it will automatically give you 10 free update Windows.

    But the upgrade of your system before July 29, 2016 because after that, you will only get the free update.

  • How can I get my chosen homepage in a private window?

    I have no problem to select a home page of my choice, but it doesn't seem to be an option to start it in a private window. This can be done?

    As far as I know, there is no way to force Firefox to always start in private browsing mode. And in addition, your home page will not be loaded in navigation mode private because the default about:privatebrowsing page.

    If you want to start Firefox in private mode, you can simply right-click on the taskbar Windows 10, Firefox icon and select this option to open a new window in incognito.

    You can also add -private to the end of firefox.exe in the target for your shortcut to Firefox. This can be found in the properties of the shortcut, if you right click and select Properties.

  • I am unable to get ios mobile to connect to the Office Server, what can I do?

    The number of the server is the same on mobile than on approx. desktop Mobile application gives an error message stating cannot download archive server. What can I do to fix this?

    I assume you mean the developer app PhoneGap and the desktop PhoneGap app?

    If so:

    • Your device must be connected to the same network as your development computer.
    • Make sure that the versions of the PGDevApp and PGDesktopApp are up to date.
    • Try with a freshly created project - if it works, something can be upward with your particular project.
    • Add ports that pgdesktopapp uses to your firewall settings so that data can flow freely. You can temporarily disable your firewall to see if that's the problem.
    • You may need to add an exception to your antivirus software. Again, you can temporarily disable the AV to see if it is causing your problem.

    You can try those Microsoft committed the 'experts' ideas Support Engineer (1, 2, 3) for safe, clean boot Mode, Online Scanner, but I think that most of the people who know how XP would recognize that there is no component 'V protect' in Windows XP and a simple search Google reveals that your problem is with your AVG software and has nothing to do with Windows XP.

    You should look in their forums (like me) and here's what they suggest:

    Vprotect belongs to AVG Security Toolbar.
    Please try to run repair installation using the latest installation package.

    If the problem persists, please follow all the steps in the instructions to complete reinstallation .

    I think that if I were you, I would follow the instructions on the page AVG to uninstall and reinstall your AVG because there may be other parts of AVG who are afflicted that you have not yet discovered, but in AVG, some people with V forums protect problems find that AVG repair install works.
