network unreliable from DM6467T EVM

When I restart my DM6467T EVM, sometimes the network is accessible and sometimes it's not.  The problem seems to occur randomly.

When the network WORKS, I see the following during boot up:

 

ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
udhcpc (v1.13.2) started
Sending discover...
Sending discover...
PHY: 1:01 - Link is Up - 1000/Full
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
Sending discover...
Sending select for 192.168.123.19...
Lease of 192.168.123.19 obtained, lease time 86400
adding dns 192.168.123.33
adding dns 192.168.254.254

done.

But when the network FAILS, I see this:
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
udhcpc (v1.13.2) started
Sending discover...
Sending discover...
PHY: 1:01 - Link is Up - 1000/Full
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
Sending discover...
No lease, failing
done.
Perhaps this is just a timing problem.  I know very little about linux configuration.  Is there a way to add another retry for "sending discover..." or is there a way to add a time delay between when the "link becomes ready" and "Sending discover..."?
Thanks very much,
Helmut
