Leases live in /var/lib/dhcp3. You can clear them by removing them. You
will have to restart networking (dhcpdbd and NetworkManager) if you do
so. It may just be easier to reboot.

Multiple reboots have been applied... I have not yet found a solution to
this quandary.  However, I have discovered a problem with this machine that
I am having Dell deal with before proceeding further.  It seems that the
desktop 'locks up' intermittently for no apparent reason.  Dell has cited
"bus failure - motherboard identified as the problem".  They are coming out
to replace both the mobo and the memory within the next few days.  I will
also be getting a new hard drive for this machine, as I am sure that their
diagnosis did not include the intermittent drive failures (the machine is 8
months old).  Rather than burn 'group time' with a problem which may resolve
once the new hardware is in place, I'll put this aside until then.
Thanks to all the great input.  I've archived these responses so that I have
some immediate debugging info if the new hardware doesn't put this to bed.
