Take a look a this topic: Vista Can't obtain IP address from some DHCP Servers
at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233/en-us It may address that issue.

Hi,

I seem to have the same problem and tried the KB928233 solution. Only bad
thing is, I have 7 SubEntries in "Interfaces\" and seem to be too stupid to
find out the "{GUID}" of my NIC.

Can you help me how to find that one out?

Thanks,

Georg
