Solution
It seems that some DHCP servers are having problems with IPv6 implementation on Windows 7 so the solution is to disable it.
1. Press Windows Key + R, type control and press enter.
2. Click on Network and Internet.
3. Click on Network and Sharing Center
4. Change Adapter Settings.
5. Right mouse click on the network adapter and select properties.
6. Uncheck ‘Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)’ and press Ok.
Restart your computer if you don’t want to use ipconfig on a command window. Once you get the IP you can enable the IPv6 protocol but if you are not going to use it, what is the usual leave it this way.

I tested it in a Windows 7 with a Windows 2000 server.
