Andrew I owe you some from the DHCP stuff of late, but I may not be able to help you here. We have a number of Smart 60's in place and I have not seen that exact behavior. I have seen OTHER equipment having an issue when the SmartBoard is on the system. For example we Mobi units (Wireless Digital Slate devices) and they seem to fight with the Smartboard software. You might try uninstalling any other hardware on the machine that is "added" and might be fighting with the SmartBoard. If that does not go try uninstalling the SmartBoard drivers and finally the the Smart notebook software. My gut tells me you will either see it go OK when another device gets removed or the SmartBoard drivers go away. Smart seems to not always play well with the other devices.
Good luck on it. Thanks for the tips on the DHCP stuff.

I have a few of these now (Smartboard 60's) and myself (and staff) have noticed the PC (Clone based Media PC) will not start if the unit is plugged in. Only starts the post and will stay (without error) doing nothing unless the USB cable is unplugged to the Smartboard. Once it hits starting windows your fine to plug it in, and all is well. I tried a powered usb hub, but not only did it NOT work, the hub got hot enough to melt the sticker inside its plastic case? Anyone have this, and/or a fix?
