PC pings every address on sequential subnets at startup

I have two PC's which when rebooted stream ping requests
to every address in a subnet and once all addresses in a
subnet have been tried, increments the subnet by one and
proceeds to ping through that subnet and so on.

They both obtain their IP addresses from a dhcp server,

The broadcasts this "ping storm" creates has an impact on
other users of the network.

I can see no relation between the subnets that are pinged
and any addresses in our network.

Any ideas?
