    Angelic:

    Yes, they do get it from DHCP. But the wierd thing is that in DHCP on my domain controller, these addresses don't show up. Nor do they in DNS.
    Sorry.... But just because your domain policy allows for DHCP doesn't mean that I can't connect to your network with a valid IP address... I just need to find an unused one to avoid those pesky "There has been an IP Address conflict" messages.

    Check your reservations in case it's that JetDirect printer you put in a year ago or something similar. Then it's time to break out the Ethereal Tutorial, run it and see what you can see.....

    Nmap scan it. You can usually tell what it is by the open ports. It listens to pings so chances are it'll scan nice and quick. If it doesn't scan nice and quick... hmmm...

    You should know where your switches are. If they're managed you should be able to find out which port this machine is attached to. After that it's just a matter of following the cable

    Oh! And bring a lart

    Oh, duh. And here I am again trying to swat a fly with a rocket launcher. As a good sounding excuse for myself though, this is the first time I've used a managed port, so I'm not used to thinking about this feature.

    Turns out the two devices that were giving those IPs was a VPN unit and a BocaVision terminal. Mystery solved!
