We are having this same issue. I posted something on here 1/23/08. Our case is 
#607980051. We only seem to have problems with residential halls where we have 
two discontiguous subnets tied to one vlan. So ResHall X has IPs 129.210.144/22 
and 129.210.172/22 tied to vlan ###. We are only seeing problems on the second 
range created for the vlan. Your setup sounds identical to ours, and we've done 
the same thing, disable the subnet in question, only to have the problem come 
back in a couple days.

I have an open case with TAC on this(607840875) but want a fresh set of 
eyes to look at it.  We are running 4.1.3 in-line with Real-IP with the 
CAS acting as the DHCP server (so we can hand out /29 and /30 networks to 
clients).  Agent is 4.1.3.1.  All VLANs terminate at the CAS.  We have 1 
VLAN per building, with multiple managed subnets per VLAN.  


We have a handful of clients that are unable to login to the agent.  The 
Agent never pops up and when you right-click it the "login" area is grayed 
out.  I verified the client is not logged in through the CAM.  

Usually when we've seen this problem before, it is from a local firewall 
being installed, or being installed at one time and left over components 
are still installed.  Norton Internet Security is notorious around here 
for doing that.  We ran the uninstaller tool from Norton to make sure that 
was all gone and checked our other usual culprits for problems (zonealarm, 
malware installed, etc).  Everything looks good.  

If I take the client and plug it into a different managed subnet other 
than the building(VLAN) where the student lives, the agent works fine and 
allows the client to login.  Move the client back to the original 
building, nothing....Agent won't popup or let the user login.  

After a lot of troubleshooting, we finally realized that when the agent 
won't let the user login, the CAS DHCP server hands out the wrong gateway 
to the client.  Here's what the client should be getting:

IP:    129.3.138.22
Mask:  255.255.255.248
GW:    129.3.138.17


And here was what the CAS DHCP server actually hands out to the client:

IP:    129.3.138.22
Mask:  255.255.255.248
GW:    129.3.136.9


The managed subnet that is experiencing the problem is one VLAN that 
contains 2 managed subnets (129.3.136.0/23 and 129.3.138.0/24).  
129.3.136.9 is the gateway address of the first enabled auto-generated 
subnet in that VLAN (first subnet is always disabled for some reason).  

Other clients that obtain an IP address within the same 129.3.138.16/29 
also experience the same problem of the CAS giving out the wrong gateway 
address.  If I disable the /29 subnet that is experiencing the problems, 
the clients will begin to function(ie: they pickup an IP in a different 
address range)....But within a few days or so I have new clients that are 
experiencing the same problem but in the next higher managed subnet from 
the one I disabled....in this case 129.3.138.24/29.  


Any help is appreciated!
