netcfg leaves the dhcp client running while displaying the message,
so it obtains the lease, probably after another second or something and
before you run ifconfig. When you retry it notices that a lease was
obtained.

You could investigate why it takes your dhcp server more than 15 seconds
to respond to a dhcp request; 10 seconds is close to the upper bound for
most servers and networks, and 3 seconds is more usual.
