DNS Service doesn't start on bootup

Updating the Intel NIC driver resolved the problem. I reproduced the issue
on a second machine with exactly the same results. With version 14.7 of the
driver, DNS fails at startup. With driver version 14.8.3, DNS starts as it
should. Apparently something in the newer driver corrects the problem of the
network not initializing to the DNS service's satisfaction at startup when
NICs are teamed.

Good find. Glad you figured it out. So it may be related to the switch ports
the way the driver handles the traffic.
