 I think that is the simplest solution, but not as fun.

Someone on our network assigned an IP address to their own system 
without my knowledge.  Using LANguard network scanner, the best I can 
tell is that it's a Linux box.  The port-to-IP mapping table on our 
Asante switch doesn't see to work correctly.

Any suggestions on tracing down that system that is associated with the 
IP is appreciated!

Assign that IP to another box and wait to see who calls in for tech support 
because of the conflict.
