Is your machine setups pointing at the correct DHCP & DNS?

Do you have more than one DHCP-server on your LAN?<br />
<br />
Does your computer &quot;remember&quot; the information from the DHCP-server,<br />
and then use this &quot;stale&quot; information, when it cannot<br />
get any &quot;new&quot; information from the DHCP-server?<br />

Does your computer "remember" the information from the DHCP-server,
and then use this "stale" information, when it cannot
get any "new" information from the DHCP-server?

&gt; If the computer is off-line the DCHP will release the IP. <br />
<br />
Not quite correct. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
If the computer is off-line,<br />
it cannot &quot;release&quot; the lease for the IP-address, and<br />
it cannot &quot;renew&quot; the lease for the IP-address.<br />
<br />
So, after the expiry of the lease, <br />
the DHCP-server can &quot;recycle&quot; the IP-address, <br />
and is free to assign it to the next DHCP request.<br />

Not quite correct.  

If the computer is off-line,
it cannot "release" the lease for the IP-address, and
it cannot "renew" the lease for the IP-address.

So, after the expiry of the lease,
the DHCP-server can "recycle" the IP-address,
and is free to assign it to the next DHCP request.

I have my computer connected to some network here. The computers are configured such that they obtain IP addresses autoatically from those that are free. There are more than enough for the machines, but the machine that I' working at keeps on saying; 'IP address conflict with machine so and and so&quot; and then it won't get me into the net!<br />
