Computer networking problem.

Posted by Dano (aka dano) May 24 '10, 08:40

I'm getting the following error when one of our computers (a Mac) starts up and tries to connect to the network:

xx.x.x.xx in use by xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx DHCP Server xx.x.x.x

What I get from that is that it is trying to get an IP address that is already in use by another computer but how do I fix that?

Responses:

two exact same ip numbers? -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 24, 08:42 2

  - the long term cure is to switch all units to IPv6 -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 24, 08:44
usually by rebooting. On a PC you can do a "release" and "renew" of your address. Not sure how to do it on the Mac -- nm - oblique May 24, 08:41 2
- Rebooting didn't help. Trying to figure it out in the Networking settings. -- nm - Dano May 24, 08:44 1
  - is the IP number the client wants the same IP as the DHCP server? - Danedukenuuk May 24, 08:47
