Homer gives out correct address. I found out that a dhcp server with a
class A address is also giving out address. So my guess is that we are
picking up dhcp from the council network or someone has added a pdc to our
network. The log files appears to show the the pdc is giving out class A
addresses. Anyone got any ideas?
