You need a combination of DHCP server reboot and
client machine having problems responding to ARP probes.
Which is not a normal scenario however you look at it.

I was referring to SMB/WINS not handling IP addreess changes _over reboot_.
WINS sometimes continue to think that rebooted box has old IP. Etc.

DHCP client box never changes IP address on the fly in the properly
(or maybe "sanely" is a better word) configured network.
Regardless of DHCP server reboot.

It happens only on reboot (or if user deliberately shuts down
and restarts his DHCP client daemon).
