Hi,
Linux DHCP issues are getting a problem. I have around 100 machines on the network where most of them are windows and some linux. If a client goes offline and then comes back most of the time there is a IP conflict.. I have never faced this issue on my home network though.
Lately we are doing a static ip with each client to avoid this. Does anybody here faced this issue. And what could be the reason.. Any suggestions ?

Get rid of the doze boxes.

check in dhcp.conf Is there any static host definition in it. Allocate more than 100 IP in subnet range. And reduce the value of max-lease-time .

server is linux (I suppose) - and it is not a crime for linux servers to have doze clients - in fact there is even some software project for linux to handle such clients (forget the name, starts with S)

IP conflicts are not OS related. They are planner ( the guys who plan and implement ip allotment ) related. If some of your machines use static ip then plan a group of ip addresses that will never be alloted by dhcp. For eg. If 15-20 machines use static IP, then your dhcp start ip should be X.X.X.25 or even 50 in case you want to space the IPs and allow future requirements.
When you mention clients going offline are you referring to shut down and rebooting?
