What is a common symptom of a workstation failure to receive a valid IP address after being moved?

The symptom that indicates a workstation failure to receive a valid IP address after being moved is the lack of internet access. When a workstation is relocated within a network, it may connect to a different network segment or switch port. If the network configuration for that new location does not provide a DHCP server or the DHCP server fails to assign an IP address, the workstation will not have a proper IP configuration.

Without a valid IP address, the workstation cannot communicate with other devices on the network, including routers and the internet. This results in a complete lack of internet access. Commonly, a device that does not have a valid IP address will show a network status that indicates it is connected but lacks internet access, which is why this symptom is strongly associated with this issue. Other symptoms might occur, but they may not be as directly linked to the problem of internet connectivity as the lack of a valid IP address.
