DHCP IP allocation problem at startup

Hi

I have My servers IP nbr reserved at the DHCP server Mac -> IP nbr

But I have problem with one of the servers:

At startup:
*********

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Dhcp
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1003
Date: 2005-11-21
Time: 20:43:38
User: N/A
Computer: UPP-WWW-2
Description:
Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the
DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 0002A545DC56. The
following error occurred:
The semaphore timeout period has expired. . Your computer will continue to
try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.


Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Dhcp
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1007
Date: 2005-11-21
Time: 20:43:47
User: N/A
Computer: UPP-WWW-2
Description:
Your computer has automatically configured the IP address for the Network
Card with network address 0002A545DC56. The IP address being used is
169.254.32.30.

This is not the correct IP nbr!

But the IP nbr will soon change to the correct one.

The problem are that services have now bound to incorrect IP nbr!

Manage to the server -> this is not a NT server ...
After restart of the server service, manage works fine ...
I have the same problem with other services.

Do anyone have any tip about this problem?

The dhcp server log looks fine.

Thanks
Stefan

Good Morning
The second event (Event ID : 1007) it's not really important.
The range of addresses from 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255 is automatically
assigned to a n.i.c. when you have no connectivity to a DHCP server, to grant
a minimal networking to your operating system.
This is called APIPA and you can disable it, if you want.
The error you have seems to be related to a slow/faulty connection from
"UPP-WWW-2" to your DHCP.
If you had NON connection at all, you'll never have the address assigned.
Some detail on how your network is made would be of help.
