I've got several scopes running on a 2003 server. In 1 of the scopes, i have about 30 lease records that have no client name listed in the record. What's more strange is that when i delete these records they are recreated within about an hour. A few further notes:

1) I can ping the addresses

2) The lease expiration time is always within an hour of checking the scope (eg. if i logon to dhcp server at 11am the lease expiration of these records will be 11.45)

3) I have recently migrated the dhcp server from an NT box. The scope settings were originally configured to provide clients with an "unlimited" lease.

Thanks for any help

Andy

I've seen this before with WYSE teminals but not with Computers ( i assume they are PC's) Try using nbtstat -A x.x.x.x (ip) and check if it comes back with an expected response.

I'm reaching here but perhaps the Firewall on the local PC(if XP) is blocking the information.
