If a static IP address is defined for a network device, for example, a
printer, and you install a DHCP server, duplicate IP address conflicts may
occur between the network device and a DHCP client computer (running
Windows for Workgroups or Windows NT). The conflict also occurs if you
manually define static IP addresses to network devices and computers during
a network link failure to a DHCP server and then the link is reestablished.
To resolve this conflict:
- Convert the network device with the static IP address to a DHCP client.
-or-
- On the DHCP server, exclude the static IP address from the DHCP scope.
To exclude the static IP address from the DHCP scope:
- Turn off the DHCP client computer in conflict with the network device
that has the static IP address.
- On the DHCP server, exclude the static IP address from the scope of the
DHCP IP address range.
- Restart the DHCP client computer.
NOTE: If the conflict persists for a Windows for Workgroups 3.11 client
computer, delete the DHCP.BIN file in the Windows directory before you
start Windows for Workgroups.
