Subject: 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?


it would be very simple to do this by using a network sniffer, ethereal is the best one out there and freeware to boot 

so what you will require to do is to create a ip to mac address mappings and then see if any of them changes if it does 
you have found your culprit by the mac address !
