IP Conflict in a network with DHCP Server
Hi, My network have 100+ computers, all assigned by DHCP. Two of them are
obtaining the same IP address, both computers receive the IP from a DHCP
Server. How can this be possible?

Troper,

That's hard to decide from your brief problem description, but I had one case
become apparent upon examination of "ipconfig /all" from the 2 computers. Why
not try doing that?

Are they obtaining the address from the same DHCP server? Could there
be a rogue DHCP server (e.g. an unauthorized wireless router) on the
network?
