Wireless bridge: duplicate MAC addresses ?

Are you sure there isn't a network loop? That would be my guess.

Are they showing duplicate MAC's for their MAC, or for a specific MAC?

Chris

They are all showing the MAC address of the bridge.

I'm sure there's no loop.

Thanks!

When you say a 'a lot of machines in the 192.168.1.x subnet receive ip conflict messages', does this mean that each machine receiving this message has a conflict, OR, is this a broadcast message sent behind the scenes using WindowsMessenger service ? You know 'net send * BOOO!'.

If you know the MAC address listed in the conflict is the client bridge, then change it's IP address to something else, static, to see if the problem goes away. OR Check DHCP scopes. The bridge may be static and whatever you have doing DHCP hands out that address.

How does the router come into play ? You say (about the wireless) they are both connected to 3Com switches. Then you throw in a router, and two separate subnets at the buildings.
