Hi Niels, Sounds like you have two DHCP servers on the segment. The clients are taking the offer from the server they have a pre-existing lease with. When you move the USB adapter to another host, there is no preference because it has no existing leases for that interface. It it takes the first offer it gets. I hope that helps. -- Jon
