Ah, I didn't think of it as a domain member. Due this virus we have a few people from other agencies working on site, so it may be one of them. I,ll just block the mac address and see who complains.<br />
Thanks so much!

Happened to be looking up a computer in DHCP and came across hd855226d94dd10.amer.homed<wbr />epot.com/ &nbsp;as a computer name.<br />
Tried Googling - nothing.<br />
And when I pinged, it replied. I deleted it but does anyone know what that is?<br />

Odd DHCP lease entry

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).
