Windows reporting an IP address conflict
I have an SFTP server setup on a Windows XP computer with a STATIC IP address. However, the SFTP computer keep reporting an IP address conflict. When I look at my DHCP server, which resides on a Windows Server 2003 R2 computer, the IP address that is assigned to the SFTP server registers the IP in Client IP address, but the computer name is blank. I already changed the conflict detection from 0 to 1 earlier today. How do I resolve this error?

When you say range, are you referring to scope? Our scope is 199.99.99.100 to 199.99.99.250 and the static IP is 199.99.99.145

This should prevent the SBS2003 DHCP from handing the IP to any other clients.

You MUST use an IP outside of the range of your DHCP scope, 199.99.99.100 to 199.99.99.250
Use one below .100 and you should be fine.
Use one below .100 and you should be fine.

Worked Perfectly!!! Thank You
If this is the case, you have probably another computer on your network with a DHCP lease where the same IP is assigned. Or maybe it could be in conflict with a printer, another server ...
