[nflug] Re: duplicate name - samba ldap winxp

[Cyber Source]

What are the chances that there is a duplicate mac address? I had that 
once and drove me nuts until I figured it out. Doing an nmap search on 
your ip block(s) should expose the problem if it is there. As root run, 
e.g. "nmap 192.168.1.*" and that should show all the ip's of the 
machines on the block as well as the mac addresses.

Just out of curiosity, how do you guys keep track of your IP inventory/IP assignments?  We use something called IPPlan here, and that works very, very well.
