Does the machine have more than one nic and if so, is it possible it thinks
it's the other machine ???  I know it's a while back now but we did see
something similar with an NT4 server several years ago !!!

Subject: [windows2000] DHCP Server Problems

I'm fighting a losing battle with our DHCP server on a Win2k3 box, in
trying to keep the damn thing up! Every so often it shuts down,
leaving a message in the eventlog saying it found another DHCP server
on its own IP address. When the servers down, clients cant get
addresses, and theres nothing running on port 68, so theres clearly no
other DHCP server running!

Any ideas on what I can do, or check for? EventID.net says that
sometimes theres a problem with the RRAS service on 2003, but that
service is disabled here, we dont use it! The only thought I've had so
far is to see if it will accept running a program when it shuts down.
Its recovery settings are set to automatically restart, so im not
hopeful! :(
