Thanks, I thought I had put this information in. We have two network
cards. One with public IP a block of 16. The other is an internal
network on 198.60.2.0/24. They have machines coming up and down. They
use all the IP's in this block at one time or an other. This machine is
192.168.2.85 and the MS win 2003 server is 192.168.2.35. I do not
remember the exact address. All have the same netmask which should
exclude this 192.168.30.32 address. The stupid MS server is spewing out
this even though it should not. The MS Admin says he does not know what
on his server is giving this error to the linux box. I do not know else
to sugest. All I know is the mac address coresponds to the MS Server.
They have over 200 machines on and off at any one time. All the internal
machines use the same wiring on this internal network. The MS addmin may
not really know what he is talking about. They did have a Novell Network
on this wiring as well. He thinks that everything is a MS Network. As
they replaced the Novell Network with MS after the Novell announcement.

Any ideas? Thanks,
