It could be that the Windows 7 computers boot up faster and the switch
you are connecting to is not ready by the time the PC is making its DHCP
request. This can happen if you are using Cisco switches that are set
up to run a spanning tree test every time a new connection is made to a
port.
FYI the phenomena you describe is not specific to Cisco switches and
will happen with any model of switch from any manufacturer with IEEE
spanning trees enabled. However, the fix - setting the port to portfast,
which is the Cisco term for setting the switch port to always be in
forwarding mode
I have many Windows 7 Boxes and have yet to see that behavior, but now I will
be looking for it.
