IP address and DHCP server issues

cxlfin — Fri, 16 Aug 2024 22:02:46 GMT

Hi everyone,

Has anyone ever ran into an issue where "can't find a static IP address" or "can't connect to DHCP server" stops you from connecting to the internet via an Ethernet connection? My Xbox Series S and my ASUS tower desktop are both having the same issue. Wondering whether its something to do with the router, or perhaps my ethernet cable.

Thanks you,

Which router? What EE BB plan are you on?

It's the Smart Router. I'm not sure about the plan as my father set it up.

When this happens next run the command ipconfig /all on the PC. Obscure any personal info.
