tracert from dos not traceroute bash on the ip in question. If it's a machine it'll return with the hostname. I don't use nt4 for dhcp but I'd bet there's a route table to reference? Also what does nmap say on the ip(s)?

I've got a network 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0. A DHCP server running on NT4 at 10.0.0.3 looks after a scope running from 10.0.0.25 to 10.0.0.225 with 10.0.0.200 to 10.0.0.225 excluded from the scope. As you can see I've got plenty of leftover addresses to play with and I've used all the ones 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.6 on various statically addressed servers. Today I was setting up a new box and thought I'd better check if 10.0.0.7 was available so I pinged 10.0.0.7 and got a reply; but as far as I know nothing is using that IP address. The same happens for 10.0.0.8 and 10.0.0.9 but once I move into double figures (10.0.0.10) I get what I expect i.e., no reply. Is it possible that some card is replying on more than one address or do I need to get out there and find who or what is stealing my bandwidth? Nigel -- Nigel Pauli - I.T.
