DHCP Client not running

I have a 2003 server that is not registering itself with DNS. Getting error
about "file not found". Further research shows that the DHCP CLIENT is not
starting due to an "ACCESS DENIED" problem... Any ideas?

Nothing in the EVENT logs. Tried running REGMON and FILEMON and they show NO
ACCESS DENIED while trying to start the DHCP Client service.

Sounds like the event log file is (or files are) corrupt.

Control Panel|Administrative Tools|Services|Event Log Service|General, set
the "Startup Type:" to "Disabled" restart the pc, then delete (or move) the
corrupt *.evt file(s) from %windir%\system32\config then set the Event Log
Service "Startup Type:" back to "Automatic", restart for effect.

You need to get this issue fixed before moving on. SP1 and some network
interfaces running at half duplex were causing event log file corruption.
