[rhn-users] Static IP Address Network Problem

[Necati Keles]

I think this problem about windows machines. Sometimes windows machines hold old IP address, even have another IP address.
You should control the windows machines. Uninstall the their network driver and then install it again, if you can.

Have you actually looked around your network to see if some other machine is
using the address? 'arp' will help you identify the hardware address of the
machine using that address. Man page for details.
