Ivan,

As client PCs, don't they have DHCP services they can obtain their address
from?......
If static ip addresses are required you could lock down the pc to deny
access to the netwroking settings from all users..
another good idea is to have an IP register, depending on how many users
(PCs) you have. this could include:
      PC Asset registration number  IP address  MAC address
      (This could be serial number) (Assigned IP)     (MAC address)


Regards,

Cesar  Osorio

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!
