I tried adding dependencies on both dhcp and Netlogon to no effect. BTW, sc config condor depend= dhcp is an easier way to specify dependencies than editing the registry directly. I think it does the same thing. I suppose I will just live with the problem until either 7.6.3 or 7.6.4 resolve it, unless there are any other simple things to try. I could probably just switch to static IPs if it comes down to it. Thanks. From: condor-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:condor-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ziliang Guo A fix should be forthcoming in at the latest 7.6.4. I do not know if the fix made it into 7.6.3, it might have been pushed in too late. In the SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\condor key (might be under the WOW64 hive since you're on XP-64), if you create a new multi-string registry value called DependOnService and set the value to Dhcp, the Condor service should wait until the DHCP service is up and running before it starts up. That should avoid the problem. There is a fix for the issue in 7.6.3 for Vista and higher machines.
