Hey, this sounds goofy, but I came across this event ID while troubleshooting my Win7Pro PC yesterday.

Event ID 1014: Microsoft Windows DNS Client
Customers have reported the following scenarios as possible causes for this event:
- TCP/IP Offload is enabled for a network adapter
- TCP/IP v6 is enabled and their ISP does not yet support TCP/IP v6.
- The spanning tree "portfast" setting is not enabled on your servers switch ports.
- Router and PC communicating on different channel or standard.
Turns out I had enabled IPv6 because I was testing my ISP's IPv6 configuration with a special PPPoE login, but stopped because the ping times weren't great. I disabled IPv6 and lo and behold, the errors stopped!
So there may be some merit to what you had described, just that the support person had difficulty expressing that to you.
