In WS 2012 R2 preentered into DHCP
169:254.xxx.yyy Reservation(inactive)
In my host machine after "ipconfig /release"
DHCP enabled......Yes
Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address........169.254.xxx.yyy(Preferred)
After release in WS 2012 R2 Reservation(inactive) still.
Why?
Is it that the Internet connection is Limited but the networking should still be up.
Did I not configure the DHCP correctly but I even configured the IPv6 Addresses, all of them even the Temps.
As a last cry for help I ran "ipconfig /renew" the error was:
"An error occurred while renewing interface Local Area Connection : unable to contact your DHCP server. Request has timed out."
