No matter what I do to this machine it immediately picks
up the microsoft address. I have tried three pci cards
and a USB ethernet adapter and the same issue with all
adapters. The dhcp server is working fine. Even if static
addres is assigned the machine will not talk on the
network.

Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm stumped.
 
Hi,

Have you checked the network cable to see if it's ok?
Some network cables may light up Green, but there may be a problem with it.
Try using a different network cable or if connecting the network cable to a
hub/switch or router then try plugging it into another port.
 
I've tried several. The switch is working as well.
Another machine on thesame cable/port works fine.
