A DHCP error means that the server on your network that provides an Internet Protocol address for devices is unable to assign an IP address to your computer. Because the DHCP setting can break the Internet connection, the error can appear in many forms, but the end result is that you cannot access the Internet.
How to Fix the 'Unable to Contact Your DHCP Server' Error
Two things can cause a DHCP error. One is the configuration on the computer or device that allows a DHCP server to assign an IP to it. The other is the configuration of the DHCP server.
DHCP errors occur when the DHCP server or router on a network cannot automatically match the IP address of the device to connect to the network. This results in a network connection error when you access the Internet using a web browser.
What makes troubleshooting DHCP errors so difficult is that the error message does not always mention DHCP.
