Here's an interesting troubleshooting issue for you to chew on. There is a fairly simple solution that may or may not be obvious at first. Heck, I might have missed an even simpler solution. This is for the beginner-to-intermediate level people. All you advanced people please refrain from giving away the answer too quickly. :-) Here's the scenario:
Imagine a location with a decent sized flat LAN where all hosts are supposed to get their IP addressing information via DHCP. Well, DHCP was implemented relatively recently and there is an old PC that was never converted to DHCP that is now trying to connect to the network. It has a hard-coded IP address that conflicts with one already in use, and the conflict causes the PC to disconnect from the network when it detects that its IP address is being used. 1. Using tools available only on the router or switch, how do you find out exactly which IP address is causing the conflict? 2. Hint: how might a device determine if its own IP address is in use? Have fun!
