Here is a quick summary of what is going on.

I am using Knoppix V3.3 11.14.

Boot on any of my two machines (totally different) the first time and I get an IP address from the DHCP server.

Shut down and restart can't get an IP address from the DHCP server.

I talked with our router guys and so far they have not found out why the router/DHCP is marking the IP address as unavailable.

I have to get the "DHCP record" re enabled to get an ip address. Same thing happens again.

I have not included any HW info on the routers because I don't know what they are. I did not include machine info, as it seems to do it on 2 totally different pc's.

This does not happen with any other OS on these PC's.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
