[dba-Tech] Weird PC logon problem

Just a SWAG, but you could try to expire the DHCP lease

A lease is normally expired after three days of the client being off-
line (not renewing its lease).  You can also expire a lease manually
by issuing an...


  IPCONFIG /RELEASE


...command at the machine you want to expire.


DHCP Manager can be used to adjust the lease duration.
