Access Denied: Renewing Adapter
Dear AO,
I seached the forums and had no luck finding anything about this topic. I work in a computer service shop. Lately I've had a large amount of computers come in with a network problem. When I go to release and renew the IP address I get an error "Access Denied: Renewing Adapter" I've tried:
1) Updating Network Drivers
2) Uninstalling any/all Antivirus and Firewall software (if any)
3) Removing and re-installing network drivers
4) Scanning and Removing spyware using: Spybot, Ad-aware, and TZ (fully updated)
5) Scanning and Removing viruses (if any)
6) Performing all Windows updates
7) Winsock fix file that I found on a website for download
Note: I've had this problem with Windows 98 and Windows XP
I've found one temporary solution which involves replacing the NIC with a new one. This solves the problem but recently I've had a computer that when I replaced the NIC the same "Access Denied: Renewing Adapter" still occured.
Please help if you have any advice or if you know where to find good solutions for the problem.
Thanks :)
