[Condor-users] .master_address on Windows 7 ( 7.5.6)

[Andrew Cunningham <condor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Occasionally when a Windows 7 machine is restarted the condor master "thinks" its IP address  is 169.254.243.121 ( it should be 192.168.0.121)

Restarting the condor service corrects the problem.

All I can think is that the condor service is starting before the machine has had a chance to get its IP from the DHCP server.
