Hello,In our project we are using Centos 6 os and runnning squid,dhcp and dns services in the same server.The problem is someone keeping the server ip address as static in their laptop, so that server is not getting connectivity ,the whole network is not getting internet because the squid service is down.How to resolve this is ???please help me anyone.
and i run the arp -a command in the client machine .it's showing Desktop mac address instead of server mac..

Stop letting your laptop users change their network settings, until you lock that down you'll always have the potential for this problem.

yup, what ten stated. thats a simple solution and the "id-10T" user needs to be bonked on the head or maybe even written up for it.

well , a simple solution would be to cascade 2 routers , on main 1 the server will exist , but in the second , the rest of laptops/desktops.

In this way , can assign 2 subnets , second subnet will be able to access main server , but not backwards.

The hard way is to use vlan(s) but the price will raise up !
