You probably missed my other e-mail...

Sorry, I've never had this problem so I can't guide you from experience, 
but I think this page might be of some help

http://www.windowsnetworking.com/kbase/WindowsTips/WindowsNT/RegistryTips/Password/CachedLogonHashes.html

Also, I have DHCP too (it's on the AD server), so I don't think this 
detail has any impact on the issue.
