[7.460][BUG][FIXED] old duplicated static DHCP mappings cause problems

[bkortleven]

I use lots of fixed-mappings.
Since (I think) update to 7.460, this doesn't work anymore. It did in 7.450.
I tried both the New Mapping button in the Leases frame, and the manual mapping addition.

I read a posting about designating an IP to two MAC addresses, but this is not the case. I checked about a hundred times.

Is anyone else having this problem??

It was happening to me until I removed an unrelated duplicate mapping.
(unrelated to the one I was trying to create)

That's what I already suspected...
I indeed found a duplicate from long time ago...

BUT

I can't seem to get it out!
It keeps saying me, on deletion, that there is a duplicate ('duh), and that I need to change it. Doing (or at least trying) that, I get the message that I did "not enter all required data, or one or more settings are syntactically incorrect..."

I stopped the DHCP service, changed the duplicates, and started the DHCP again.
I'll restart/renew the dhcp client tonight, as I did this change remotely from work...
We'll see later on if this fixed it...

Thanks anyway for the tip. I have tons of fixed leases for machines coming in and out (I'm the computer guy in the family, so all worried and messy machines pass here for cleanup and checkup), and it's hard to find duplicates in such a list...

One option would be to delete duplicated entries during upgrade. But the obvious problem is to determine which ones the user actually wants to keep. The problem should be reduced again in 7.470 since it accepts duplicated IPs again, just not duplicated MACs. Also the error messages should clearly indicate what MAC is duplicated so that you can search for it.
