I have this problem on several laptops where a staff member uses their company laptop at home. The home router (Linksys or other) issues an IP via DHCP to the users company laptop such as:
IP:192.168.1.13
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS: 209.159.192.7, 209.159.192.6 (ISP DNS servers)
Then, the staff member comes into the company offices, connects automatically to our WLAN, and because we use the same subnet (192.168.1.x), it fails receive a new DHCP lease with the appropriate settings. If I vary the NIC off/on as administrator, a new lease with the correct settings are issued. We don't have any issues with DHCP otherwise.
The DHCP server is a Sonicwall Pro 4060 (which is way over-sized for our environment). Users do not have local administrator privileges. Not sure if this is a consistent problem or not...still investigating.
I'm not quite sure how to fix this?
