Can you release the lease of the bad computer on your DHCP server?
Are you using the full FQDN or the NetBIOS name?
ASKER
yes

i can even put a static address i there, no change
ASKER
as far as the question for th FQDN or NETBIOS, i browse the workgroup network, see the computer called server, when i click on it, it says i have have rights to it, if i use the IP address, i go right to it

There is no Domain, its a peer to peer windows xp network where workgroup is workgroup
