    This sounds a whole lot like my DHCP problem. It was being
    discussed on this list earlier last week. I have attached my thread for your perusal.

    I have the same ethernet card as you. There is a
    workaround in the attachment that I am using (I also
    created a script to do it) but if someone comes up
    with a real fix it would be muck better.

    Read through my attachment and see if you think we
    have the same problem.
