Access delay to LAN

An access problem has developed in the last few days on accessing the
internet through my DSL Router. All indications in Network Connections and
via the Router access lights indicate a connection, but it will sometimes
take 5 min before actual access is allowed and a connection established. I
have redone all the Network Settings to no avail. The frustrating thing is
that the connection will eventually work. I have even disabled the firewall
to see if it was interfering somehow.

I found the following warnings in the System log and they date to the
beginning of the delay problem.

Warning One:
Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the
DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 00B0D014AAD4. 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.

Warning Two:
Your computer has automatically configured the IP address for the Network
Card with network address 00B0D014AAD4. The IP address being used is
169.254.134.119.

Win XP Home through a Cisco 677 router. This problem started after
installing KB828035. Not sure if that is pertinent. Any ideas as to where to
look?
 
It's slow getting an IP address from your ISPs DHCP server. Have you checked
their web site for a status update, I see alltel have a section for that.
 
I have been on the phone with Alltel several times. I get no answer for the
problem from them. Their Techs have no clue except to advise that I should
reinstall windows.
