Re: How to find a changing IP on ethernet network

Hello. I have a client with a simple Ethernet network with HUB's connecting and there is one person that is changing 
it's IP and creating conflicts. What would you do to track down that person? i mean, to find who does that?
Thanks!

Write a script that creates a list of ip addresses and their mac addresses and saves it to a file. Run the script daily and then do a diff between the files from day to day to see what changed.
