Strange IP Addresses being picked up
The last few days , a number of our desktops have acquired strange IP addresses , outside our range . They pick up an address in the range 192.168.11.xx . To reset I have to go into CMD and ipconfig /release then ipconfig/renew . Is there any way this can be prevented ?

Still got the problem . Downloaded DHcP explorer but that only shows our subnet . I viewed the video but didn't 'get it' . I can see no visible signs of a 'home' address so difficult to remove . I really am struggling with this one . Anyone ?
can yu ping the rogue ip addres I mean does it actually exist

I tried pinging one of the addresses I have seen and it just timed out .... 192.168.11.11

Our RAS server has an address of 192.168.11.14 ?? I don't recall this . Does this sound correct ?
whats your lan ip address range ? 10.0.0.x or someting
ASKER
192.168.16.x

I would like to point to my second post where I stated
as 192.168.x.x is a home ip range I bet somebody has put their home router with dhcp running onto your lan imho
and your cooment
Hi , it appears that my problem was caused by a Buffalo router that we have deployed at one of our satellite sites . We spotted this on a tech forum and now , having disabled this equipment , normality has been restored
how is that different I stated it was another router and your fix is another router
