Problem
Ive seen this a few times recently, when you are on your pc you find that it cannot see any files on the network, you cannot connect to email and finally you cannot connect to the Internet. This may be down to the DHCP client service not starting on you pc. This means you do not have an IP address therefore cannot connect to any resources. This applies to windows XP, Windows Vista,Windows 7 and all server products.Follow this step by step guide on how to fix this issues and get the DHCP service to start again.
