To attempt to release the unwanted ip you can always go to command mode and
then run "ipconfig /release". Or you can use "ipconfig /renew" to see if it
is willing to swap for you. As for checking the NIC the easiest way is to
simply swap it to a different machine and give it a go. Of course if the
machine is one with a built-in then it ceases to be simple and you might
have to resort to buying/borrowing a PCI NIC to plug in.
