XP DHCP error 1

[glennhick]

On a Dell D600 laptop, im getting an event in the System log after startup:
{ Event ID: 1003
Description"Your computer was not able to renew its address from the DHCP server fo rhte network card wiht network address 000f1fa14e2a. The following error occured: The semaphore timeout period has expired. You computer will continue to obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server. }

The mahcine is XP Pro and set to DHCP an address. It was loaded from a Ghost image from another D600.
It is on the network OK, but im worried that it wont be able to renew its DHCP lease.
any ideas?
thanks
glenn

See if the issue persists. My guess, a harmless issue:

I am also having this problem after ghosting 50 PC's
The DHCP settings are correct, but each PC is picking up a weird IP address which is not relevant to our address structure.
Any advice would be appreciated
