How to Reserve IP for static client already connected to LAN
Hi,
I am running a 2003 dhcp server.
I'd like to add a static client to the reservation list. The client is already connected to LAN. When I pick OK, the dialog says: "The specified IP address or hardware address is being used by another client."
I remove the patch cable from the client then tried again to no avail.
What do I need to do?
Thank you,
Chris

Would these be the *-Mon.log, *-Tue.log, etc. files?
They don't show anything regarding reservations or pertaining to that certain client.
Maybe if I remove the static IP on the client and let dhcp give it an address for now. Then I might be able to reserve it then? I dunno. Just throwing ideas out.
I was wondering if there's a way to have the dhcp server clear out, if any, its record of old reserved IPs. Is there such a thing?

I reconnected the patch cable for now because I need this client running.
@Techn9cian:
No, it's not in the address leases list.
@Tomislavj:
ping works fine.
arp -a shows the ip by itself.
