Hi I have the same issue with DHCP, which seems to only affect Win 7 (32 and 64). Linux and XP work OK.
I've disabled dhcp broadcast flag (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233) on both private and public interface on Win 7 image. Since then I get a lot less DHCP errors on Win 7 reservations, but still get few once in a while. Looking at my dhcpd logs files it seems like Win 7 doesn't not accept DHCPOFFER - I see multiple requests from Win 7, but it never gets IP address. Even when I manually run ipconfig /release, /renew. Where is your DHCP server located? Is it on the same subnet/broadcast domain or you have DHCP Relay agent on your subnet to communicate with DHCP server?
