Ok strange one, I have a hopper w/sling, super joey and a joey. I run my own DNS and DHCP servers and hopper has a static ip address assigned to its hardware address. I do this so I do not have to have to allow UPnP on my firewall/router (yes paranoid security guy here) and use a static firewall rule for the ip address that I have assigned. I am now finding that the hopper itself is not only grabbing the static ip address I have assigned through DHCP but it is also grabbing other IP addresses in the DHCP range I have but not getting them from DHCP (not showing in lease) as I had a issue where it grabbed the ip address of my wifes laptop and she was not happy she could not get on the internet. Yes her laptop is also a static address. Strange eh?

I know if I look in my router, the joeys have IP addresses assigned to them also. That may be what the other IP addresses are pulled for.
I already looked there, the SJ and J's all show up with their own hardware addresses and get their own IP's.. The hopper itself is showing up with multiple ip's on the same hardware address.
You probably know this already but if you assign static IP addresses inside the DHCP range, the DHCP server can give that address to another node. This should not happen if you use the DHCP server to hand out the same IP address to the node (based usually on MAC address) each time the device asks for one.
