This is probably more of a Windows question (apologies for any

someone out there has seen this or has an idea.

I have a new Dell Optiplex XP system (Broadcom NetXtreme NIC) I set up
as a DHCP client.  When I enable the LAN interface on it, hundreds of
lines of the following show up in the server syslog.

<SNIP log output>

This continues indefinitely -- while the XP box continues to think
it's acquiring an address.  It continues until I disable the
interface.  Everything works if I give it a static address.


What if you configure dhcpd to give it a fixed address?


An interesting question. That works.  But what does it mean?
