3COM office Connect Block internet
Hi guys
I have a customer with a old Office Connect firewall with 25 licenses.
We just upgrade the network with a Windows 2008 SBS hyper V so we replace one server with 3 now adn there is 3 NIC cards on that new server. Now once a week the 3COM will block acess to the internet to laptops that connect in the mornig. When I look at the logs I see teh following message: "License exceeded: Connection dropped because too many IP addresses are in use on your LAN" If I reboot the firewall then it work fine.
There is only 12 machines plus the server that has 3 NIC so a total of 15 IP. Since it suppose to have 25 liceses why does it reach the limit?
It also say that is not register and I was thinking that can be also the cause but I register it on the 3com website under my account but I have no registration code.
Any idea?

Could be wen you installed the new server(s) that you changed the DHCP lease time to a shorter interval. If there are only 15 devices inside you shouldn't run into this issue. Try changing DHCP lease to a week or more if you have a pretty static environment.

Are we talking about the Server DHCP or the 3 COM DHCP?
The 3 Com DHCP is disable.
I will look at the server DHCP lease time
