RE: How to find a changing IP on ethernet network

Hi,

The person should also be warned on his(her) screen about the IP address trouble, but according to your statements, it 
does not seem to bother her:(.

The way I would deal with this trouble is tracking down the MAC address and/or name of the computer, and then try to 
find the computer with that.

But it will depend on many things: DHCP or not? How many computers do you have connected to the hub? Do you have an 
up-to-date list of the MAC addresses, ...?

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!
