I have a headless PC - as such I cant see what's going on inside until I connect with its IP and login to the machine. I have this PC connected over Ethernet to a router with DHCP. Problem is, I fail to turn on the router "and make it in ready state" prior to booting the PC. When PC completes booting prior to router becoming available, PC fails to get a known IP address and Im unable to ping it with any of the IP address within range of the router's DHCP server and as such I end up having a proper headless PC :) with no clue of why it failed to connect to the network.
How can I make the PC obtain an IP address as soon as the DHCP router becomes available ?
