Wait!! I know: 1 - Turn off the ports to the help desk so they will call you (you can't call them because you can only use tools on the router or switch). You can then have them change the fixed IP address on the old machine since it's the one causing the conflict. :-)
2 - That depends on how aggressive the machine is. It may ask if the address is in use or it might just tell everyone else the address is in use. You *did* say to have fun. :-) >>> "John Neiberger" 07/31/03 03:29PM >>> [snip] 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?
