Windows 98 on a DHCP network

I have a windows 98 Machine that is on a DHCP network. It
will not renew its IP address upon a shut down though. I
currently have it setup to release IP on shoutdown in the
registry trying to get this to work. I have also tried
replacing the DHCP files incase they were corrupted, and
removed and reinstalled TCP/IP and a full removal of the
network card and reinstall both from an original windows 98
CD. If you could get back to me on this that would be great.

what is your DHCP server?

I am using a windows 2000 server DHCP server. Also other
windows 98 get their DHCP information fine. if i do a
release and renew this box gets the information fine. It is
just when the PC is turned on does it not get the IP
information.
