Don't your APs have static IPs?  I was suggesting it was more likely to be a 
wireless device, rather than the AP itself.

Try a telnet on various port numbers and see if you can get response from the 
IP address to determine what the device(s) are....  Otherwise ping it and start 
unplugging things till you find it (best do that out of hours, unless you want 
your boss to smack you around the head, assuming the unit is powered up out of 
normal office hours).

Or blacklist the mac address in your DHCP and assign it an address not in your 
range and see who phones up and says my "iPhone / laptop from home / etc isn't 
working anymore."

Non-managed switches, unfortunately. We do have a few wireless access points, 
but the MAC address doesn't match up with them AFAICT.

iPhones, etc. maybe?

Do you run a wireless network?  Any rogue APs, etc?

Managed or non-managed switches?

I was looking at my DHCP clients and noticed that I have a few machines that 
are NOT identified. Looking up the MAC address online I see that it's 
registered to "private." Any idea what the heck is up with that? Any 
suggestions on how to find it, assuming it's NOT a PC? (I know I have several 
devices who's MAC address is registered to Apple, and we have no Macs here, 
so...)
