Getting this message on a Dell XP box. This system was working previously,
customer says nothing was changed on the box. Message reads:

Window IP Configuration
An error occured while renewing the interface Local Area Connection: The
DHCP client has obtained an IP address that is already in use on the network.
The local interface will be disabled until the DCHP client can obtain a new
address.

I've tried rebooting the DHCP router, release and renew, reboots... any ideas?
