Default WinXP Client not renewing DHCP address - Help Please

All,

I have an IBM T40 laptop with WindowsXP with SP1 installed and all O/S
patches installed since 7/20/2004. The IBM T40 is the recent model
with the Intel Centrino Mobile Tech CPU. We have several other T40's
not experiencing this problem. The PC is producing the following event
error below:

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Dhcp
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1003

Description:
Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from
the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address
000D6078FDBB. The following error occurred:
The semaphore timeout period has expired. . Your computer will
continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network
address (DHCP) server.

As such, the PC can not obtain a valid IP address from our DHCP server
without manually running ipconfig /release then /renew several times,
the PC will eventually get a valid IP address. The DCHP server is a
Windows 2003 Domain Controller (also DNS) which is part of a Windows
2000 Native domain. The DHCP is authorized. All clients, servers and
domain controllers are internal and are recieving a 10.x.x.x. ip
address. Other PC's are recieving DHCP ip addresses just fine. I have
tried several things so far with no success:

1) Dis-joined the PC from the Domain and re-joined
2) Deleted the PC account, re-installed the O/S and rejoined the
Domain
3) I have also tried using the Repair option on the NIC properties
4) I have also tried uninstalling the NIC driver and reinstalling
5) I have also tried to create a reservation for the nic's mac address

The PC is a laptop IBM T40 with and two nics an Intel Pro/1000 MT and
an Intel Pro Wireless Lan (both NIC's are built-in). I have also
checked to make sure that the Internet Connection Firewall is not
enabled. About the only thing I have not tried is to disable the
wireless lan nic nor install a PCMCIA NIC card. I will try that
tomorrow morning.

Otherwise, does anyone have any other ideas to try ?

Thanks,

Ian
