Another developer came up with an idea, disabling DHCP and killing it's daemon. We don't actually use DHCP for anything on that server, being a server it's IP is statically assigned I believe by the firewall/router.
He believes that the service was checking for an IP and causing the fault of DHCP client???
I have included the dump of the details from both files, just in case -- I would appreciate your feedback.
