DHCP Offer Followed By DHCP NAK

I have a Windows 2003 member server that was working fine with DHCP. Dell
came out to replace the motherboard, and after that I cannot get DHCP to
work. Of course I changed the reservation on the DHCP server to match the
new MAC address corresponding to the MAC on the motherboard. What I see
from a sniffer on the member server is that when it does a DHCP request,
immediately the DHCP server starts a sequence of:

1) DHCP Offer
2) Short delay
3) DHCP NAK

So the DHCP server makes the IP address offer to the member server, and
after a pause there is a DHCP NAK. Is that a normal behavior for the
server?

From the member server's perspective, when I do an IPCONFIG /RELEASE
followed by IPCONFIG /RENEW, the renew fails instantly, and the eventviewer
message says the DHCP server is refusing the lease with a DHCP NAK.

Any idea what would be causing this sequence and how to fix it?

Delete the "active lease". Not the Reservation,...I mean the lease.
If the old Lease is still there, then IP# is still "in use" by the old MAC
as far as the DHCP Service is concerned,..therefore it refuses to give the
IP# to the new MAC.

Yes, I deleted the old lease at the same time I changed the reservation.
DHCP server is making an offer and immedating issuing a DHCP NAK after the
Offer.

Client immediately fails as described below when doing IPCONFIG /RENEW.
