[Cialug] Slightly OT- Windows Mobile grabbing random IPs..

[Jonathan C. Bailey]

Quick update on the issue.. Still looking for input.

According to our packet sniffer, the device is doing a DHCP request, then less than a second later sending an ARP request saying it's .2. I've also seen this issue with the device taking other seemingly random IPs on the same subnet.

The REALLY weird part is that even when configured with a static IP, it does the same thing! Sounds like we're running Windows CEMENT - hard as a rock, dumb as a block.

The DHCP server is authoritative and the APs don't support DHCP (for the server side - they *do* act as DHCP clients). We've got a sniffer set up on all of the wireless and are waiting to see if this will happen again.
