When you configured the IP address manually, did you set the default gateway (and DNS) as well? Without gw you cannot access the internet.
My guess for the DHCP not working is that either the reserved address is already in use or already reserved, or that the MAC address is incorrect.
You could easily sniff the traffic when this PC is connected to really see what happens - DHCP is UDP ports 67 and 68.
"diag debug enable | diag sniffer packet internal 'udp and (port 67 or port 68)' 6" in the CLI.
For basic connectivity troubleshooting please follow below KB article.
Thanks for the answer!
I checked mac address and ip address both true. I also used reserved and free ip address`s too.
