IP Address Conflict.

by ksvijayb . Updated 24 years ago

Server & Network is Win NT. Dynamically Allocated.
User desktop Win 95.
Hi,
I am maintaining an office network of about 2 servers (1 NT & 1 HPUX) with 60 nodes. O/s of the enduser desktops varies from Win 95 to Win 2K.

One particular user’s desktop(WIN 95) alone gives me “The system has detected a conflict for IP address xxx.xx.xx.xxx with the system having the hardware address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. The interface has been disabled”
The funny thing is that the hardware address said to be in conflict is NOT PRESENT IN MY NETWORK. I have deleted the NIC drivers, re-installed almost everything. Still no use. Currently I have given an manual IP ADDRESS and made the user work.
Any inputs to solve this issue is most appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
K.S.Vijayabaskar
