I have a similar problem. Machine X is in an office on-site, connected
to the system by ethernet. In DHCP it has an ip address in its own
right, and a second with the telephone icon next to it. Our network has
no connection via the phone line directly - we do have a VPN system
using dedicated hardware, but you connect to it via the Internet and
need id and password to connect. How can DHCP be assigning leases to a
machine on the network as though it dialed in?
