[dba-Tech] Weird PC logon problem

I tried that, but I need to be able to log in, don't I? That's why I
unplugged it from the network, I know our leases are set at 3 days...

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.
