What I've found lately (playing with sundry Linux live DVDs, which use DHCP when they initally run) is that sometimes I get a default route set up by DHCP to where it ought to be (namely 192.168.1.1), and sometimes where it ought not to be (192.168.1.254). In some cases I can get it swapping between on and the other on successive boots using the same Linux Live DVD! (I suspect it's due to which ever "gets in first").
Sounds like you have two DHCP servers on the same physical network. This is bad, of course.
Tim.
Agreed in principle -- but, since I've always configured my "real" machines to have fixed IPs throughout, and never use DHCP, it doesn't matter normally. It was only when I suck it & see with the DVDs that intitally use DHCP that it has en effect!
Best wishes, Ted.
