That's why I always set up the machine with a static IP address OUTSIDE of the DHCP pool. Less chance of IP conflicts.

Until someone someone does the same thing using the same address you used.

Had one like this also. The copier was in place for a few years with no problems on that IP. Some put a device on the network that would try and communicate to that IP and the copier would lock up. The other device was not using the IP as a duplicate, just sending a signal out on the IP of the copier. Found it using WireShark.

The below is a multiple ping test batch file I wrote for Windows O/S.
It will ping for multiple IP addresses in a set user range to find active network connections.
Use it to find authorized, hacker or duplicate IP addresses in the range you've chosen.

Examples:
Xping 10.1.1.0 255 {Test all 255 addresses start at 10.1.1.0}
Xping 192.168.2.10 20 {Test 10..30 addresses start at 192.168.2.10}

Cut and paste to a USB stick and test the network.

Anyone may modified the above batch code to suit their own requirements.
