Error: Access Denied Renewing Adapter

[Jamezpjr]

I have run across this error three times in the last week, all on Win98 machines. I enter winipcfg, the IP address is listed as 0.0.0.0 . I click release and it says its already released. I click renew, and get:

Error: Access Denied Renewing Adapter

None of these machines seemed to have anything in common besides the OS and they all have broadband internet thru a cable modem. Anyone seen this or have any ideas?

This is what I have tried:

-Reboot modem/pc
-Reinstall USB Cable modem or nic drivers (2 had nics)
-Reinstall network stack
-Disable all firewall/antivirus software

What happens when you do an ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew?

Windows 98 does not recognize either of those as a command. I believe in Windows ME you can run ipconfig, maybe even ipconfig /all, but not release or renew.

I should also mention though, I have now seent this on a WinME machine. Same error message. This machine was connected to a cable modem with the USB interface, I switched it to etherent, and all was fine... not sure if that helps.

i found my solution! multiple dhcp servers on the single network...
two routers, one chained off the other, the chained router mistakenly had the DHCP server enabled.
