Another thought? Is this 3com NIC connected to a Cisco switch. I heard somebody mentioning setting portfast option on the switch. This could cause that message also.
" A couple of MS KB's mention the problem may be in an ethernet switch. That the Spanning Tree Algorithm should be disable. Then another KB says that the spanning tree portfast setting SHOULD be enabled (which it is). We have Cisco switch." -----Original Message----- From: Crumbaker, Ron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 12:05 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: DHCP 1003 Errors on windows 2000 Pro Machine I am getting the following error on one of my machines.
