Forcing expiration of DHCP lease

[Cole Tuininga]

Note, the following is supposition and I'd appreciate that if anybody
notices I'm wrong they would say so.

My understanding of DHCP is that the client does not *have* a mechanism
to tell the server to release a lease for a different system.  Now, I
understand that you've simply changed NIC's, but the DHCP server has no
way to know that.  Hence, the only way to get the DHCP server to dole
out that IP/host to you is to go to the DHCP server and manually expire
the lease.

Not knowing a thing about Windows DHCP server, I wouldn't have the first
clue how though.  8)
