Alright, here's the deal. I'm running a dedicated DHCP server on NT 4.0 with SP6. Every few days when I go to look in the DHCP manager, I find a massive amount of bad addresses. Yesterday I had to clear 144 out by hand, which proved to be a very tedious and mind-numbingly dull project. Is there any way to have the server automatically delete the BAD_ADDRESSES whenever they occur? Please help!

Yours,

Hi
I've seen this error before, usually caused by a 2nd DHCP or, you have a station(s), that gets it ip address locally(laptop), and a diferent one from dialin. In the case of the laptop, a nic card and a (lets say) a modem thru a shiva or vpn, it would have another mac address, therefore causing a duplicate entry. hope this helps.
