[pptp-server] IP/MAC Theft

[Trevor Benson]

Problem,

   Each time I configure a RedHat 6.1 Server and enable the pptpd I start
having IP address thefts.  Actually what is occurring is the firewalls
internal interface starts to report that its MAC address belongs to
different IP address's on my local network.  I originally swapped network
cards, cables, and even into a new HP switch, to ensure the switch wasn't
failing.  Now I have gone so far as to purchase a whole new system, and
rebuild the VPN server.  I am experiencing the same issue with ALL new
hardware, and IP address's.  But this system still seems to send a message
that reports to the switch that it's MAC is attached to another IP.  Has
anyone else here experienced this, and if so please let me know how you
resolved it.  Mail any replies to Tbenson at associatedbp.com
<mailto:Tbenson at associatedbp.com>  please, as I have not received anything
from the mail list directly yet.


Thanks,
