Thanks Brian..I dropped a stitch.  Once again you are correct.  Joe, you have to shut down that dhcp service on the machine(s) that are running the dhcp service.

I forgot to add, shut off your DHCP server and then renew your IP
address, if you get one, you have another DHCP server.... Just look for
routers and access points that people have put on your network without
permission.
