I connect my kubuntu to a network in a dhcp scope where some hosts has manual IP addresses. DHCP offers IP to my client which is conflicting with one of manually configured hosts, kubuntu accepts this conflicting IP address and assigns to NIC. what is the problem? why don't it refuse that ip ?
As I know in DORA procedure which occures in DHCP IP request, after dchp Offers first availible IP address to client, client uses ICMP to know if someone else using that IP in that zone, and if so client refuses use of that IP until DHCP offers a free IP address. so my kubuntu should not accept and use that conflicting IP. why this happens?!
thanks in advance
PS: My DHCP server is a windows server service, if it makes sense anyhow. but no any other windows clients has similar problem!
