DHCP Client Problem

Have Windows XP SP2 with all the avaliable updates (critical and optional)
installed. My laptop connected to a Windows SBS 2003 network with DHCP server
at work and gets the IP address of 192.168.0.56 I take it home and plug it
into home network, which also uses DHCP, and I get a new IP address
192.168.0.102. However, when I bring it back (shutdown and start) to the
office and connect it to the network, I logon to my laptop and it takes
forever to load my personal settings (10 minutes) and I do not have a roaming
profile setup. Not only that, I cannot access the network or internet.

as it turns out, the IP address from my home network is not being released
and I am not able get get an ip address from my server at work. Once I
performed ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew, then I am able to get the
new IP and can access my network.

I had this laptop setup as computer name ABC at one point. Then I formatted
it and reinstalled everything and called it XYZ. Don't think this has
anything to do with it.

As far as i know, this is happening to only this laptop.

What is causing this problem and what is the solutions?
Thanks for your help,
steve Louie

ABC and XYZ could be the problem. I would check the records in DNS server.
