Windows NT - ip address conflict


Expert: Chris Schuh - 10/11/2005

Question
I have an NT network using DHCP with about 50 computers attached. Most computers get their ip address via dhcp; a few have static addresses. One with a static address is the NT server with an address of 192.168.1.100. For the past couple of months, a message pops up on the NT server every couple of days saying that 192.168.1.100 is having an ip address conflict with a device that has the mac address 00:12:F0:3A:8F:E2. I have not been able to find a way to identify the device with this mac address. Any ideas?

Answer
Hi Mark,

I hate to break it to you, but you'll have to either buy some network scanning software that can search for this MAC Address, or you'll have to check out all the connected devices and find out which one has that MAC address.

Cheers,

Chris
