IP conflict because a computer wake up from save state

[chicagotech]

Situation: The user receives IP conflict error message and then the screen goes to the black. When he uses Ctrl+Alt+Del, the logon screen displays another username. For example, the user logs on as john, the screen displays Jeff. After he logs on, it goes to the black screen again.

Troubleshooting: Bob installed Vista in Virtual Server 2005. The Vista has been in save state from last two weeks. When a Vista computer comes back from the save state, it is using the IP 192.168.1.2 which is the same IP John’s computer using. To fix the problem, renew one of computers’ IP.
