No DHCP Server Found (Windows 11)
Ethernet connection was working perfectly fine on home computer a couple days ago. Yesterday it starts saying DHCP server not found. I cycle the switch and router. I buy a new cable and run it between the switch and computer. Problem not fixed. Interestingly, while connected to the switch the ethernet cable is solid green but on the computer it’s both a blinking green and solid orange.
I try the cmd prompts and winsock, int ip reset, and ipconfig /release all works. But ipconfig /renew doesn’t pop up with anything. Can’t type into cmd anymore so I open up a new one and ipconfig /flushdns works.
I go to services.msc and everything to do with the DHCP client (running & automatic) are correct. But I can’t reset it, says access denied even if i’m the admin. So I try and figure out why it doesn’t recognize me as an admin in the registry editor. System has full permissions, network and local are only on read.
Completely at a loss at what to do now.
