drivers for network are up to date

Physical server or VM? How is the switch configured that it’s connecting to? without a lot more information on the network setup, the only thing I can guess is that the new server is on a different VLAN that doesn’t have the DHCP helper address set.

First, can you set the NIC to a static IP address in the range - does that work?

Second, look at wireshart (bootp)_ and see what is being issued and returned.

Try this:

netsh winsock reset
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

After running the first command, reboot the server.
