That may be the fault of the driver for your network adapter. I have
reproduced this exact error on several computers, all of which belonged
to wireless networks. This is the first time I have heard of it on a
non-wireless network card. I would check and see if there are any
updated drivers for your NIC. ipconfig /release flushes all of the
information out and ipconfig /renew grabs the information from the
server/router. It may be having difficulties overwriting the existing
network information which is why it only works by doing /release first ;)
