Yep the SMC is managing all DHCP.

Only one DHCP server. It's just windows boxes giving a generic pop up
complaint about an IP conflict. Reboot seems to resolve the issue.

Cool I'll check it out. Sounds like a fun tool to learn more about my
little LAN.
Well after digging around some today I found that I did have a not too
often used server with the same static IP as my samba server. Doh! So
I'm _hoping_ that will fix the locked files issue. I had no complaints
today about it. :)
For the IP conflicts I changed the setting to update addresses on the
SMC device to two days. It was 2 weeks. This is just me guessing though.
I'll do some more digging around. Many thanks for the excellent feed back!
