Problems disconnecting computers due to the same IP

On the UTM server, the IPs are configured by DHCP. The problem is that sometimes computers are disconnected due to the same IP and it is not clear whether the problem is with DHP or not?

  • Are the client computers set with static IPs that would conflict with DHCP, even though you have UTM assigning DHCP? Is there any MAC address assignments? Is there anything in your logs that point to an issue other than conflicting IP addresses?

  • Hallo Mina and welcome to the UTM Community!

    Unlike DHCP on a Windows server, UTM does not create a "reservation" for an assigned IP.  You must assign fixed IPs outside of the dynamic range of the UTM's DHCP server.
