Question : Failing dhcp exclusion with IP conflict

Hi All,

I have a new laptop insisting of getting the 192.168.1.60 IP from my DHCP.
Than I get an IP conflict error.
I have check the DNS and only that laptop have this IP. I restarted the DHCP

I have created an exclusion in DHCP for the 192.168.1.60 IP
on the laptop I ran Ipconfig /release
than /flushdns
than /renew.

The laptop still gets the .60 IP.

WHY???

thanks much

Answer : Failing dhcp exclusion with IP conflict

A quick way to solve this would be to statically assign some IP address to the laptop in the network settings - say .61
Reboot the laptop and then revert to dynamic assignment of the IP address using DHCP.  The laptop should then send its DHCP request for .61 which the DHCP will likely honour.

Have you tried disconnecting the laptop from the network and pinging .60 to see if there is actually a machine with that IP address?
