Morning,
Your issue might possibly be because of the switch that the machines are
connected too. Some (newer?) switches do some negotiations and speed
tests before clearing the port for use, this can cause the DHCP to time
out (as the network request doesn't get further than the port). I've had
this problem on a few machines here, but our network engineer simply
removed or decreased the timing for the port (sorry for the vague
answer, but I havn't seen the operation myself yet), and that seemed to
solve the problem
Hope that Helps,
Phil
