Unable to Contact DHCP Server appears when you try to lease, release or renew an IP Address. This error means that your NIC cannot speak with the DHCP Server in order to obtain a new lease to retrieve a new IP Address that it can use.

What is a DHCP Server

DHCP or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a network protocol used for assigning IP Addresses automatically.

Why am I getting ‘Unable to Contact DHCP Server’

The error will often occur after you try to run the “ipconfig /renew” command in Command Prompt and it can become difficult to solve Windows problems that rely on this method. Below you will be able to find several methods that were confirmed to work for other users so make sure you try them out and hopefully solve your problem!

Solution 1: Update or Roll Back Your Network Drivers

To be honest, updating and rolling back the driver are two opposite actions but it all depends on which driver brought the error to your computer. If you are running old, no-longer-supported drivers on your computer, then an update is almost certain to solve the problem.

However, if the problem started to occur after you have updated your driver one way or another; a rollback might be good enough until a new, more secure driver is released. You should also update or rollback the network device you are using to connect to the Internet (Wireless, Ethernet, etc) but performing the same process all of them should do no harm.

  1. First of all, you will need to uninstall the driver you currently have installed on your machine.
  2. Type “Device Manager” into the search field next to the Start menu button to open the device manager window. You can also use the Windows Key + R key combination in order to open the Run dialog box. Type devmgmt.msc in the box and click OK or Enter key.

  1. Expand the “Network Adapters” section. This will display all network adapters that the machine has installed at the moment.

Update the Driver:

  1. Right-click on the network adapter you want to uninstall and select “Uninstall device“. This will remove the adapter from the list and uninstall the networking device.
  2. Click “OK” when prompted to uninstall the device.

  1. Remove the adapter you are using from your computer and navigate to your manufacturer’s page in order to see the list of available drivers for your operating system. Choose the latest one, download it, and run it from the Downloads folder.

  1. Follow the instructions on-screen in order to install the driver. If the adapter is external such as a Wi-Fi dongle, make sure it stays disconnected until the wizard prompts you to reconnect it to your computer. Restart the computer and check to see if the problem has disappeared.

Rolling Back the Driver:

  1. Right-click on the network adapter you want to uninstall and select Properties. After the Properties window opens, navigate to the Driver tab and locate the Roll Back Driver option.

  1. If the option is grayed out, it means that the device wasn’t updated recently as it has no backup files remembering the old driver. This also means that the recent driver update is probably not the cause of your problem.
  2. If the option is available to click on, do so, and follow the instructions on-screen to proceed with the process. Restart the computer and check to see if the problem still occurs in Command Prompt.

Solution 2: Disable the VirtualBox Related Driver

VirtualBox is a program developed and published by Oracle and it’s used to run and visualize various operating systems on various platforms. It can be downloaded and installed from their website and you might have used it in the past or you might be using it now.

However, their driver may mess things up a bit on your computer, and disabling it from the Internet connection you are using won’t affect the program significantly but it may just help you solve your problem.

  1. Open the Run dialog box by pressing the Windows logo key + R key together. Then type “ncpa.cpl” in it and click OK. It can also be achieved by opening the Control Panel. Change the view to Category and click on Network and Internet. Click on the Network and Sharing center section in order to open it and locate the Change adapter settings option at the left side of the window and click on it.

  1. Now that the Internet Connection window is open, double-click on your active Network Adapter.
  2. Then click Properties and locate the VirtualBox Bridged Networking Driver entry on the list. Disable the check box next to this entry and click OK. Restart your computer in order to confirm the changes and check to see if the error appears again.

Solution 3: Register DNS using CMD

This simple command did the trick for a lucky user who complained about a problem on an online forum and it appears what this answer helped other users as well. That being said, plenty of Microsoft officials were stunned by the fact that this worked but it’s a viable solution so you might as well try it out!

It won’t do any harm to your computer as it initiates manual dynamic registration for the DNS names and IP addresses that are configured at a computer and it’s actually used to solve network-related problems..

  1. If you are a Windows 10 user, you can easily locate Command Prompt simply by clicking the Start menu button or the Search button next to it and type in “cmd” or “Command Prompt”. Right-click on the first result and choose the Run as administrator option.

  1. If you are running a version of Windows older than Windows 10, the Start menu search might or might not work properly but you can still navigate to C >> Windows >> System32, right-click on the “cmd.exe” entry and choose Run as administrator.
  2. Type in the command below and make sure you click Enter afterwards:
ipconfig /registerdns
  1. After you see the “operation completed successfully” message in Command Prompt, click the close button or type in “exit” in Command Prompt, restart your computer and check to see if the problem is gone.

Solution 4: Disable IPv6 on Your Active Connection

This “ipconfig” error sometimes occurs if IPv6 is enabled for your active connection and you don’t have a local gateway which is needed to connect. There are several users who were able to solve the problem this way and it won’t affect your consumer experience.

  1. Open the Run dialog box by pressing the Windows logo key + R key together. Then type “ncpa.cpl” in it and click OK.

  1. When the Internet Connection window opens, double-click on your active Network Adapter.
  2. Then click Properties and locate the Internet Protocol Version 6 entry on the list. Disable the checkbox next to this entry and click OK. Restart your computer in order to confirm the changes and check to see if the problem occurs in “ipconfig” again.

Solution 5: Restart Your DHCP Client Service

DHCP Client Service managed these problems and if the service has stopped or malfunctioned, the best thing you can do is to simply (re)start it and hope for the best. It has helped several users as this service absolutely needs to be running on your computer in order for commands like “ipconfig /renew” to work.

  1. Open the Run dialog box by using the Windows Key + R key combination on your keyboard. Type “services.msc” in the box without the quotation marks and click OK in order to open Services.

  1. Locate DHCP Client Service in the services list, right-click on it, and select Properties from the context menu which appears.
  2. If the service is started (you can check that just next to the Service status message), you should spot it immediately by clicking the Stop button in the middle of the window. If it is stopped, leave it as it is (for now, of course).

  1. Make sure that the option under the Startup type menu in the DHCP Client Service’s properties is set to Automatic before you proceed with the instructions. Confirm any dialogue boxes which may appear when you set the startup type. Click on the Start button in the middle of the window before exiting.

You may receive the following error message when you click on Start:

 “Windows could not start the DHCP Client Service on Local Computer. Error 1079: The account specified for this service differs from the account specified for other services running in the same process.”

If this occurs, follow the instructions below to fix it.

  1. Follow steps 1-3 from the instructions above in order to open DHCP Client Service’s properties. Navigate to the Log On tab and click on the Browse… button.

  1. Under the “Enter the object name to select” box, type in your account’s name, click on Check Names and wait for the name to become recognized.
  2. Click OK when you are finished and type in the password in the Password box when you are prompted with it, if you have set up a password. It should now start without issues!

Solution 6: Replace the Antivirus Program You are Using

Even though this final method may sound like too much, it was reported by several users that certain free antivirus tools actually caused this problem and removing them managed to solve the problem after all of the methods above have failed.

If you have tried out the solutions above with no success, consider using a different virus, especially if you are not paying for it. The major culprits for this issue include Avast and McAfee. However, the uninstall process can sometimes be avoided if you are using BitDefender Total Security which will be discussed at the bottom

  1. Click on the Start menu and open Control Panel by searching for it. Alternatively, you can click on the gear icon in order to open settings if you are using Windows 10.
  2. In Control Panel, select to View as: Category at the top right corner and click on Uninstall a Program under the Programs section.

  1. If you are using the Settings app, clicking on Apps should immediately open a list of all installed programs on your PC.
  2. Locate McAfee or Avast in Control Panel or Settings and click on Uninstall.
  3. Its uninstall wizard should open either prompting you to confirm your choice to uninstall or to offer to Uninstall or Repair. Choose Uninstall and follow the instructions on the screen.

  1. Click Finish when the uninstalled completes the process and restart your computer to see whether errors will still appear.

BitDefender Total Security Users:

The problem can sometimes be solved if you are using this antivirus program by disabling a certain option in Firewall settings. It appears that its firewall is preventing this process from going through via this option so you will have to disable it in order to proceed.

  1. Open the BitDefender user interface by double-clicking its icon on the desktop, searching for it in the Start menu, or by double-clicking its icon in the system tray.
  2. Click on the Protection icon on the left sidebar of the Bitdefender user interface and click on View Features.

  1. Click the Settings icon in the upper-right corner of the FIREWALL module and navigate to the Settings tab. Here you should be able to see the Block port scans in the network option so make sure you disable it before checking if the problem is still active.

  • Some users encounter the You cannot contact your DHCP server error message after renewing the IP address of their Windows 10 PCs.
  • This type of error indicates that the network card cannot communicate with the DHCP server, so it cannot share a new IP addresses.
  • Find out how to fix this issue and resume your PC activity within minutes.

Say you’ve tried refreshing your IP address or releasing it using the ipconfig /renew command, but you’re still getting Unable to contact DHCP server.

To get to the bottom of your troubles, you first have to understand which element means what in this equation.

What is DHCP?

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, and it essentially is responsible for creating new IP addresses.

And the type of error that accompanies it is always related to the ipconfig /renew command that you execute in Command Prompt.

The ipconfig /renew command will disable communication from your Network Interface Controller to the DHCP server. Therefore, in case something goes wrong, you get the ipconfig /renew DHCP request failed error message.

Now that we’ve cleared out the basics, let’s get busy with the fixes.

In this article

  • What is DHCP?
  • How can I fix the Unable to contact your DHCP server error?
  • 1. Update or reinstall your network drivers
  • 2. Register your DNS via cmd

Error Code 0x8024001b- What is it?

At its most basic level, Error Code 0x8024001b is an error that can cause problems with the installation and updates of software and operating system updates. The most common version of this error appears in Windows 10, but a similar error with a matching code number has been present in previous versions of the operating system, back through Windows 7.

Common symptoms include:

  • Programs freezing or locking up during use
  • The appearance of an error message regarding installation difficulties
  • Computer shutting down or freezing during operation
  • Difficulty in running multiple programs at the same time

Solution

Restoro box imageError Causes

There are two main causes for Error Code 0x8024001b, both of which are fairly simple:  Updates needed for the Windows Update tool itself and software that causes Windows Update to fail during installations through conflicts in system files. While these may seem like technical issues, these problems are actually easily resolved with a few simple steps. The average user can use the methods listed below to fix the problems on their own.

Further Information and Manual Repair

For users who want to address Error Code 0x8024001b for themselves, the steps below can be followed to address the two primary causes for the error. If you have difficulty in completing these steps or are not confident in your computing skills and ability to follow the listed steps, contact a Windows repair technician.

Here are the top methods to resolve Error Code 0x8024001b on your own:

Method One:  Check for Updates to Windows Update

In some cases, the Windows Update tool may need an update for itself. When you attempt to run updates or install wizards for other software, it can cause conflicts with the Windows Update process, slowing down your computer or causing it to freeze.

If you are attempting to run multiple installations or updates at the same time, it may also cause Error Code 0x8024001b to arise on your computer.

To resolve this issue, close out all programs, with the exception of the Windows Update tool. Within the tool, select “Check for Updates” and install any updates that are needed. When finished, you should restart your computer to ensure that all updates have been fully applied before attempting any other installations or updates.

Method Two:  Uninstall Conflicting Software

Another problem that can cause Error Code 0x8024001b is the presence of conflicting software. If Error Code 0x8024001b has only recently appeared on your computer, consider removing any software that has been added to your computer, running the Windows Update process, and restarting your computer before attempting to reinstall the problem software.

With any method that you use, it is important to remember to keep your Windows Updates current at all times. This is the best way to avoid the appearance of Error Code 0x8024001b and similar errors in the future, as stacked up updates are more likely to cause issues and conflicts with your other installed software and operating system.

While there are some tools out there that claim to be able to fix Error Code 0x8024001b for you, it is important to always thoroughly investigate the publisher and distributor of such software, as some of the tools available on the Internet will actually introduce malware and adware on your computer in the name of “protecting” your computer or resolving an error.

If you have tried to use both methods above and have not fully resolved Error Code 0x8024001b, get in touch with someone who is a qualified computer repair professional and is familiar with your particular version of the Windows operating system to assist you in finalizing your resolution.

Method Three: Use An Automated Tool

If you wish to always have at your disposal a utility tool to fix these Windows 10 and other related issues when they do arise, download and install a powerful automated tool.
