It sounds like you need to mark your DHCP server as authoritative
(assuming it is the only one on the network). DHCP permits multiple
servers to respond to a DHCP discover message... the delay you are
seeing sounds like the normal delay that is part of this process. If
your server is marked authoritative, however, then the client will
accept the server's response immediately, short circuiting the delay.

Dear sunray users,
I have a SunFire 280R and some SunRay 170 clients connected via a
dedicated 1GB net.
Powering-on the 170 I instantly see the small status box appearing with
a 21 in the lower right corner. The manual tells me that "the Sun Ray is
booting up and is waiting on DHCP IP address and parameter assignment".
I see this message for exactly 60 seconds, then the 21 changes to 22D,
then 26D and finally the login screen is presented.
Sniffing the network traffic on the server I can see the first DHCP
request sent by the Ray 60 seconds after a power-on or a reset -- as
expected.
So: Where does this 60 second timeout come from? In "normal live" 60
seconds startup time is not a problem, but while testing some setup
where you often have to reboot or reset the Ray ...
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
