Yes, NT does the same thing. If there is a NIC installed in the computer, it holds the DHCP IP address somewhere in the registry through a reboot or power cycle even if the NIC is now at home and no longer in the office. I don't think it shows up in WNTIPCFG or ipconfig /all, though.
We worked around this by installing the AutoExNT service, which allows an autoexec.bat type of operation. At bootup, we had the batch file run
ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew
all the time. If there was a DHCP server, it didn't hurt anything. If there wasn't, it didn't generate any error messages. I don't remember how we worked around it on Windows 98. I think it was a similar approach using a command line option of winipcfg
If that thing has a built-in NIC or PC NIC, try removing or disabling it.

Unfurnately thic pc has no IP address (standalone pc), i have looked at ipconfig /all and with route print command. But there is no clue about this problem.
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 27.07.2004 11:54:50 >>> I saw a similar case where the Win98 laptop formerly was in the same subnet with the desired target host. the Win98 box still had an IP (which it has got formerly via dhcp) on the nic, so it tried to route all pakets unencryted to this host. Have a look at winipcfg on the appropriate adapter and if so a release should bring things back to work. HTH Steffen
