same problem but no solution

I see exactly the same error every 7 min under Administrative Events 'Your computer was not assigned an address from the network (by the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 0x00215C7D4A0F. The following error occurred: 0x79. Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.' Pretty much the only error I get. Does not seem to matter that much but would be nice if fixable

ahh found the solution on Tech Net

apparently this error occurs because the network card isnt ipv6 compatible

to stop the error message simply turn off the ipv6 useage in Network and Sharing Center -> Change adapter settings -> Right mouse click on the network adapter -> Properties -> Uncheck 'Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)' -> Press OK.

I didn't have to reeboot for this to take effect

thank you tech net

Yep, almost no one is using IPv6 yet so there's no point in running it.

Most ISP's don't support IPv6 anyways, don't know what Microsoft thinks.....
