DHCP enable conflict detection

To enable conflict detection on your DHCP server, perform these steps:
1. Start the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) DHCP snap-in (Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, DHCP).
2. Right-click the DHCP server and select Properties.
3. Select the Advanced tab.
4. By default, "Conflict detection attempts" is set to 0. Increase the value to 1 or 2, as the figure shows. Setting it higher than 2 isn't recommended because each attempt takes as long as 1 second.
5. Click OK.
