It sounds like your DHCP is giving his router and PC an IP.  I'd make sure
his router has DHCP pass-through or BootP turned off.  I'd check to see what
his computer's IP address is too (ipconfig /all for WinXP, Win2K, WinNT).

If you don't want to get the customer involved, you could disable the lease
for his computer.  Of course, he may call you if he can't connect, at which
point the above suggestion should work.

Subject: [smartBridges] Off-topic Question Regarding DHCP

I know this isn't Smartbridge-related, but I have a question I hope one of 
you may be able to help with.

I have a DHCP server here that I did not set up. I was provided next to 
nothing in documentation on it. It is for wireless customers only. I have 
one customer that continually gets two ip addresses assigned to him. He is 
the only one that this happens to. Right now for example he has 
204.96.181.148 and 204.96.181.202.

He only has one Smartbridge, only one antenna, etc.

I do have him set up with two different MAC addresses in the DHCP software 
(I have to put n the MAC address of his NIC in order for DHCP to give him 
an ip.) I have one address for his cable modem router, and one for his PC. 
Is it possible that the DHCP server is seeing both of these devices at the 
same time and giving them both an ip?

It doesn't appear to be hurting anything, and he's working fine. I have 
plenty of ip addresses in the pool, but am worried that something may be 
awry on my dhcp server.

Thanks
Sam
