Users getting wrong IP addresses
Wired users getting 192.168.1.x IP address. Instead of 10.10.x.x
Not sure what happened. Not all the users tho. Any ideas?
ipconfig /renew /release not helping.
Need some help troubleshooting.

Odd. Definitely check to make sure there's a link light on your switch that corresponds to the connection. What are you using for a DHCP server? The DHCP server should have a table which shows what leases currently exist.
ASKER
yes there's a link light.

Sounds suspiciously like a rogue dhcp server on your network. Anything been added? Router? Phone switch, etc? Anything that defaultly comes with dhcp service would be suspect.
Since it's wired, you may be able to physically trace what is different about where these three machines are plugged in by tracing the physical wires / ports.

can u check any wire looped in switch
ipconfig /all should show the DHCP server IP, and that might be helpful. Most likely it is 192.168.1.1. Looking up the MAC adddress using arp -a after having pinged that server IP, and researching the manufacturer part of it, gives a clue about the device brand. If you've got managed switches, the MAC address can get followed to ports there.
Do you have managed switches? You could use them to track for signs of a weird MAC address somewhere on your network.
One of the odd situations I had seen was a case where a user felt they didn't have enough ports at their workstation. Turned out they bought a router instead of a switch, then connected one of the LAN ports directly to the network outlet. Caused several hours worth of headaches.

Figured out. Security contractor connected their linksys router into our switches. That caused the issue. Disconnected and problem is gone now. Thanks!
Sorry having to say that, but I cannot see how Russ' comments where helpful in this case?
Kent's comment #a42638166, my comment #a42638368 and masnrock's #a42638649 are all better choices for accepted/assisted answers.

Russ' first comment was helpful in this case.
Very questionable. It has been a rogue DHCP server, which came in by plugging in a router. Not someone rewiring network ports, as guessed by Russ.

>> What's apparently happening here is that these wired users are connecting to a different network.>>
This is exactly what was happening. Russ nailed it.
