Hi.
I have changed some computers on my company's network, deleted certain reservations (Windows Server 2003), and now, when I want to add new reservation, I get the following message: "The specified IP address or hardware address is being used by another client".
1. Yes, the new computer IS connected to the network.
2. Yes, MAC address IS correct.
3. No, the IP address IS NOT used by any other computer. No ping, no nslookup, no DNS record for the IP address.
4. I am positive that the MAC address is not the issue here, but the IP address that was reserved for another, old computer that is not in use anymore.
Believe it or not, I had the same problem last year and I have resolved it, but I don't remember how :) It had something to do with some log file on the server (I don't know which). Now I am totally stuck and I hope someone here can help me.
Thank you in advance.
