One of the problems was with a laptop and everytime it connected at a
particular site it would give an ip conflict with another pc.
I traced the problem to this laptops network card having the same MAC
address as one of the PC's network cards.
I know that every network card should have a unique MAC address but it
happened a couple of different times at this company and each time it
was the fact that the MAC address on 2 different NICs was the same.
I haven't seen this problem since though so I guess its fairly rare.
Are you sure that this conflict was not due to either party using software
to spoof the MAC address?
