I am not totally sure this is an XP issue or a laptop issue. At my workplace
we have about 25 laptops that all go home for the evenings with the users.
The users who go home and connect to their routers are given an IP (DHCP) and
everything is fine. When they shutdown the laptop and bring it to work the
next morning the laptop acts as if it never left the previous network and
tried to keep the same IP, causing conflicts on our network. If you
disconnect from the network at home, shutdown, then come to work it works
fine.
The laptop's are all Dell brand (D600, D610, D620, D800, D810) with Windows
XP SP2.
We did everything we could on our DHCP server to release all IPs on shutdown
so it causes no problems when the employee gets home but coming back is
causing this pain.
Any suggestions?
