Mark,
Netbind.exe binds the various protocols that you have selected (NetBEUI and TCPIP,
for example) to your NIC(s). My guess is that, for some reason, your system is not
binding one of your chosen protocols to a chosen adapter. My guess is that its not
binding TCPIP for some reason. Then, when mptstart.cmd attempts to run, it runs
setup.cmd, which probably calls for dhcp on your Internet adapter (allowing the adapter
to be automatically and dynamically assigned an IP address). However, since you do
not have Internet access, because of the protocol binding, your system is calling dhcp
without success. It's waiting the prescripted time limit (probably 20 seconds) before
declaring it a failure.
