Hello . The cable modem is a modem, not a router. The problem is the NIC in question has a setting for the mac address(in device manager), and it is currently set to not assigned. You can assign it any mac address you want in this setting as well. The NIC did pick up DHCP from a router, it just wont from the modem. As far as I can remember, no faults when doing the release and renew, other than obviously saying it couldnt renew the IP address.
