Deleted the client computer on DHCP

By mistake, I deleted the client computer name from the Address Lease on the
DHCP. I thougtht this would allow the client computer name to get a new IP
address. The client computer name is still showing under the Active
Directory---Computer---Users.

Now, the issue is... When I try to log the client computer to the domain, it
does not get any IP Adress? The IP Address that gets assigned has nothing
to do with the DHCP scope. I can not make the client computer join the
Domain.

How can solve this problem? Do I need to client computer re-join the
Domain? Do I need to delete the client computer from the Active Directory?

Any suggestions or ideas is greatly appreciated....

Go to a command promt on the offending machine and type...

ipconfig /release
then
ipconfig /dnsflush
then
ipconfig /renew

make sure that you have "Obtain IP address Automaticaly" from DHCP selected
on the TCP/IP properties of the network card.
Shut down, turn off and then restart.

BTW how long have you set the IP lease days.
Have you started the scavaging service?
Can you ping the server from the workstation?
