RE: CPF4168

Terry,

That could be. I would guess the latency of large networks would be a
culprit in this maybe ?

We are fairly small and if I (inadvertently) stick a deice on the wire I get
a message pronto that it is already in use (I'm not normally that stupid,
but this was back a few years ago when I was setting up a BUNCH of new PC's
and had a range of specific addresses limited to the hub I was using in the
"lab" and I overlooked resetting a "done" devices IP to what it would be at
a remote site and got dinged by that...).

This may not be correct, but I think if the other device had been previously
granted that address and had not renewed yet, that device  would not get the
message.

The 1st device wouldn't know because the other was not on yet.
