This is what is confusing me. Are you saying that when the
server changes IP, you log into the router and view the
"Reserved IP table", the actual entry for the server no longer
reads .2?
There are only two possible answers to the question above [(.2)
or (not .2)]. So the following might suggest where to look
further based on which answer is selected.
If the Reserved IP table has changed (reads any number other
than the original .2) then the router is defective or the table
is getting edited. The Reserved IP table is a "static" table,
not a "dynamic" table. In general, static tables can only
change by editing them. They do not monitor for, nor react to,
any change in the real world value of the various fields that
make up that table. IOW if the table does not read .2, then the
task would be to uncover who or what is editing the Reserved IP
table since it can/should not change by itself.
If the Reserved IP table has not changed (reads .2), but the
server has changed IP, then the task would be to uncover which
of the two, the router or the server is not playing nice with
dhcp. Some of the possibilities might be the router not
honoring the [reserved] dhcp request, or the server turning
down the dhcp offer. Check the server's event viewer to see if
there are any messages listed which pertain to dhcp.
