Network Weirdness on Bookstore's Server Fixed
It recently came to our attention that the Bookstore's new server was constantly requesting a particular IP address from our DHCP server. After checking, re-checking, and triple-re-checking our network connection setups, nothing could be found that would be making these requests. However, we knew that the requests were coming from this server as Paul could see them coming from the switch port directly linked to this box.
I made an email request for assistance from MBS, and learned from them that there is a thingy called IMM - Integrated Management Module in this (IBM) server's BIOS. Tada - sure enough, it was set to request this particular IP from DHCP. How that ever got set like that remains a mystery, but it isn't set like that any more!
