I just got a 2000 which does exactly this (our first for evaluation..  
which is somewhat disappointing thus far).  I could see in a packet  
sniffer a weird cycle of DHCP requests like it got an IP but kept  
retrying?  A power cycle doesn't solve the problem (it's had many,  
and dozens of software resets).  A reset with the MAC input doesn't  
work either for me.  The phone was at an older FW  when I got it  
(ending in .9, I think) and then updated to to the latest stable (.12  
I think off the top of my head).  Btw- the firmware update was a  
pain.  HTTP updates were hitting the server (Apache) with 'bad  
request' results.  I needed to set up my own tfpt server to make it  
work.  Off lan updates weren't working, either, in any case.

The phone will register and work when it has a static address  
assigned, but not when set for DHCP.  In all cases, the clock is  
always wrong.  I can see with a packet sniffer that the NTP request  
is sent and received, but with no effect on the phone display.

Was there a resolution to this issue?  The GXP-2000 seems to be a  
very popular phone, so I can't imagine others on the list not  
experiencing this?  Or is this part of a batch with unresolvable  
problems that I need to send back to the seller?

Thanks! TGIF! :')
