Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address Arthur 02-10-2006

 When connected to the PC via USB my HTC Wizard keeps giving me an error.

"Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an
IP address in Network Settings."

It seems to work fine but the message keeps popping up.

 The device is set for DHCP, but it's actually supposed to be the DHCP
server, not a client, in this connection. Somehow, you've changed that
setting for the USB connection from static IP address (where you fix the
address for the device), to server assigned IP address, where it goes
looking for a DHCP server. This connection might be called something like
Remote-NDIS Host in the Network Adapters control panel applet. The IP
should be set to 169.254.2.1 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. Leave
the default gateway blank.

Hi,
Do you have the DHCP Client service running? If you do not then you will
not be able to sync until it is running.
