Yes, NT does the same thing. If there is a NIC installed in the computer, it
holds the DHCP IP address somewhere in the registry through a reboot or
power cycle even if the NIC is now at home and no longer in the office. I
don't think it shows up in WNTIPCFG or ipconfig /all, though.
We worked around this by installing the AutoExNT service, which allows an
autoexec.bat type of operation. At bootup, we had the batch file run
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
all the time. If there was a DHCP server, it didn't hurt anything. If there
wasn't, it didn't generate any error messages. I don't remember how we
worked around it on Windows 98. I think it was a similar approach using a
command line option of winipcfg
If that thing has a built-in NIC or PC NIC, try removing or disabling it.

** High Priority **
Unfurnately thic pc has no IP address (standalone pc), i have looked at
ipconfig /all and with route print command. But there is no clue about
this problem.

I saw a similar case where the Win98 laptop formerly was in the same
subnet
with the desired target host. the Win98 box still had an IP (which it
has
got formerly via dhcp) on the nic, so it tried to route all pakets
unencryted to this host. Have a look at winipcfg on the appropriate
adapter
and if so a release should bring things back to work.
