Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.1.1-P1-15+squeeze3
Severity: important
Powering on two computers and a DHCP at the same time, I find sometimes an
IP-conflict between the two computers.
I think that this could happen:
The first computer uses another DHCP client than dhclient, it asks for an IP
and gets 192.168.1.3 by the DHCP server.
The second computer uses dhclient, reading the leases file, it successfuly
pings the router. So it keeps its 192.168.1.3 IP for example.
Why dhclient doesn't ping the computer IP(like it does with the router one)
before keeping it without asking the DHCP server?

That isn't how the protocol is desigened. This is more of a problem
with your DHCP server, rather than the client, so please submit a bug
report to whatever provides your DHCP server.
Best wishes,
