hmmm, such a wierd setting requirement hints at the actual network interface
needing a little more time until it is alive.  this may point the finger
away from the server and onto the network switch/router that it is connected
to instead.... so you have eg 'spanning-tree portfast' configured on the port
that the server is connected to?  if not, you will have to wait up to 30
seconds after the network interface comes up before you are able to
send/receive network packets.
