The scenario

Your organization uses a DHCP-based IP configuration strategy. The technical support staff is handling a large number of connectivity issues. After restarting, a specific group of computers loses connectivity to the rest of the organization.

The support staff determined that, in every case, the computers’ TCP/IP settings show IP addresses and subnet masks that do not match the organization’s addressing plan. After another restart, the problem usually appears to be resolved. The issue has been escalated to you for analysis and recommendations.
