Hi,
  also, do not forget that other tools can be used to spoof MAC
adresses to make things worst.

One of tools I know of :
http://www.laurentconstantin.com/en/netw/netwox/

It can spoof MAC & create virtual hosts in a network
(hosts that arent really up).

I'd suggest to keep tracks of every IPs & MACs in your network
over a period of time, and then try to correlate them.

If the offending IP has always the same MAC, you can take a look
on computers . On Windows you can use

ipconfig /all |find "Physical"

that will show the current MAC in use.

Hope this helps out

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?
Thanks!
