Just posting this to help anyone else may have been seeing the hang / error with the DOS TCPTSR.EXE problem.
Our problem turned out to be a device on the VLAN that had an incorrect trunking configuration. Our specific setup includes Cisco 6000 and 6500 series catalysts and HP/Compaq BL10e gigabit blade chasis. The incorrect setting on one of 5 blade cabinets was interfering somehow with the DHCP broadcasts, even though neither the DHCP/TFTP server or the client was located in a blade cabinet (both were directly connected to the catalyst switches). I thought this would be a good place to post this, since the way I found out about the unattended project was when I was searching for a solution to this very problem while using the Altiris Deployment Server product.

It's similar to a problem I found in the archives here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg002 74.h tml but with a twist. I only get the hang when I'm on a specific VLAN on my network. If I change the VLANs of both the DHCP/TFTP server and the target box, I get my DHCP address without any errors. And if you let the hang go long enough (more than 20 minutes) it comes back with the "TCPTSR.EXE gives NET0133: IP-Address already in use" message. The VLAN in question is my DMZ, so it has things like PIX firewalls and CSS load balancer devices on the same network, but I can't imagine any of them would be causing this problem.
