Event ID 4190 — TCP/IP Network Interface Configuration

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

The network configuration interface settings of your computer determine the way in which it communicates with other computers and devices on the network.

Event Details

Product: Windows Operating System
ID: 4190
Source: tcpip
Version: 6.0
Symbolic Name: EVENT_TCPIP_DHCP_INIT_FAILED
Message: IP was unable to initialize network adapter %2 for configuration by DHCP. If DHCP is enabled on this network adapter, the primary interface may not be configured properly. Interfaces on this network adapter not configured by DHCP will be unaffected.

Resolve

Assign a different static IP address

If your IP address is statically assigned and does not originate from a DHCP server, change the IP address assigned to the network interface so that it does not duplicate another IP address on the network.

To perform this procedure, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

To change the static IP address:.

  1. Click Control Panel, doubl-click Network and Sharing Center, and then click Manage network connections.
  2. Right-click the network interface you want to update, and then click Properties.
  3. Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), click Properties, and then type a different IP address in IP Address.

Verify

To verify that an IP address is assigned:

  1. At the DHCP-enabled client computer, click Start, click Run, and then type cmd.
  2. Type ipconfig /all to view lease-status information.
  3. The output of the ipconfig command should show an IPv4 or IPv6 address marked "preferred."
