Answer
Answer
I resolved the same issue by disabling my Wireless Connection #2 (Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adaptor) network adapter.  I found this by comparing the MAC address listed in the error message with the output of CMD>ipconfig /all.  Noticed that this adapter continuously tried to communicate with my DHCP server, and I wasn't even using it.
