Hi Ethan, 

I ran it (dhcpinfo DNSserv) in a loop every 10 seconds. It took 
360 seconds before I got a response.  I swapped out the U45 with
something more modern (T5220) and my install is working.  

I'll try Ultra 45 again using the ISC DHCP server. The failure
was consistent so I'd expect it to fail again. If it does I'll 
use the SUN DHCP server to see if works there.  

Thanks, 
- Tom
