We'll try to help stop it, but at this point we're now guessing without
specifics about your infrastructure and just offering possibilities.

Are you using WINS? If so, did you check in WINS if the older IP is in
there? As I mentioned, NetBIOS errors can cause this as well, which point
back to WINS, if using it.

Are all machines only using the internal DNS (no ISP DNS server) in their IP
properties?

If you have to *manually* enter the static IP in DNS, then that tells me
there's an obvious DNS misconfiguration somewhere that is preventing
registration. Once again, here are the pre-requisites to ensure DNS dynamic
registration. Check each point and post back if you have any questions about
them. I adjusted #3. .

1. The Primary DNS Suffix must match the AD DNS domain name, ipconfig /all
will show you that.

2. It can't be a single label name

3. The DNS servers listed in the IP config must be authorative for the zone.
This means that all AD machines (DCs, clients and member servers), must ONLY
use the internal DNS server(s) that host the AD DNS domain zone or your DNS
server has a way to send the query to it (thru Secondaries, delegation,
stubs, etc)

or has a way to get to it (such as the MNAME in a secondary zone)

4. Updates are allowed in the Primary or the AD Integrated zone properties.

If you like, what would really help us to get closer to a diagnosis is if we
can see an ipconfig /all of one of your DCs and of the machine in question.
