Event 1001 DHCP Client error on restart due to WLAN adapter.

This error is seen in event viewer whenever I restart or reboot (recent clean install of Win 8 pro).

Your computer was not assigned an address from the network (by the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 0x0024D7833395.  The following error occurred: 0x79. Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.

From ipconfig /all I can see it it this adapter:

Wireless LAN adapter Local Area Connection* 23:

Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected

Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :

Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter

Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-24-D7-83-33-95

DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes

Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes

I have tried

ipconfig /release - result - "No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection* 23 while it has its media disconnected."

ipconfig /renew - result - "No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection* 23 while it has its media disconnected."

And based on this case

C:\Windows\system32>netsh wlan stop hostednetwork

The hosted network stopped.

C:\Windows\system32>netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=disallow

The hosted network mode has been set to disallow.

The adapter remains (and with it Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection* 13) and so does the error.

Should I remove it and if so how?

Thanks.

In case it is useful full ipconfig is below.

    Interesting.  I've disabled hibernation as Wi-Fi would always fail after hibernating but I didn't see it when it was off I don't think.  I might not have noticed though.

    I did manage to stop this error by disabling the "Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter".  (On device manager, View, show hidden devices and it is under Network Adapters).

    Not a solution but it removes some of the clutter from the event viewer with no apparent ill effects assuming you don't actually want to use it.

    I have the identical problem using Windows 8 on a new Sony Vaio.  As a matter of fact I got 2 new Sony Vaios and they both have the same problem.

    IPv6 has been disabled, the network card has been uninstalled and re-installed.  It got to the point where I had over 2200 events (most DCHP - Client) errors in less than 7 weeks!  Yesterday, I reformatted my SSD and re-installed everything!!!  As of this morning, I have 222 warnings and errors.  I assume quite a few occurred while I was re-installing the OS and programs, however I still received some of these DHCP-Client errors in the middle of the night while my computer was off.  I don't mean sleeping or hibernating...I mean OFF!

    I spent days on the phone with Sony support last week and they are becoming more aware of this issue.  They say that after speaking with Microsoft, a fix is being planned.  I'll believe it when I see it.  A friend of mine has a new Lenovo with the same issue, so we're not alone.  I'm just assuming not very many people actually bother to check their Adminstrator Event Viewer.

    Hi, the PC is a Lenovo X201.

    The adapter is virtual so there is no hardware (method 1 therefor doesn't apply) and it does not appear in Network and sharing centre (so method 2 does not apply).

    It is created by Windows and nothing to do with my ISP.  Wifi, Ethernet and Mobile broadband all work fine.

    Hi Halasz,

    There might be something wrong with the network adapter.

    Could you let us know about the make and model of the computer.

    I would suggest you to try these methods and check.

    Method 1:

    I would suggest you to go through the article and follow the all steps given. Here is the link for your reference.

    Wired and wireless network problems

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/network-connection-problem-help#network-problems=windows-8&v1h=win8tab3&v2h=win7tab1&v3h=winvistatab1&v4h=winxptab1

    Method 2:

    I would suggest that you disable the Internet Protocol Version 6(IPv6) on the network adapter and check if it helps.

    a. Right click on the Network icon in the System Tray and click on Network and Sharing center.

    b. Click on Change Adapter settings.

    c. Right click on Network Adapter and Choose ‘Properties’.

    d. Uncheck “Internet Protocol Version 6”.

    e. Click on OK.

    Note: By disabling IPv6, you will not be able to use any application that relies on the Windows Peer-to-Peer Networking platform.

    If the above methods do not work, then I would suggest you to contact the ISP to assign IP address for your computer.

    Do let us know about the results.
