Hi;
I have several Livingston (Lucent) PM3's....
we are trying to reset the IP's for my class 'C'.
We have diligently read the manual to no avail.

Specificlly, we are getting this error message from Radius when we
restart everything:

Thu Jan 1 13:52:50 1998: [6042] dropping duplicate request for id 1 from 191.255.249.72
Thu Jan 1 13:52:55 1998: [6042] dropping duplicate request for id 1 from 206.103.109.149
Thu Jan 1 13:53:01 1998: [6042] dropping duplicate request for id 1
from 206.103.109.149

206.103.109.149 is the IP that we want to change the PM to. I have
no idea what 191.255.249.72 is.

This problem effectively stops any of our users from logging on
unless they are in the users table on the PM3. This error message
will continue until we change the IP back to the original IP. When we
do change it back to the original IP, it works sometimes. We
currently only have one PM in operation because of this problem and
one PM can not nearly support our userbase.

All IPs have been added to the radius clients file and radius has
been restarted. I even went so far as to reboot the radius server.

One other rather odd thing, When I changed the Ip on the PM using the
command:
set ether0 addr 206.103.109.100 (different PM)
Local (ether0) address changed from 206.103.109.91 to 206.103.109.100

At this point my telnet session was cut off. I tried to ping the
PM and it didn't reply. I then tried to ping 206.103.109.100 and it
replied. I was able to telnet to the server at 206.103.109.100, but
radius was still showing the error message from 206.103.109.91. I
did not save the settings and I did not reboot. It just changed IP
addresses. (partially)

We need to get this resolved as soon as possible. Lucent tech support
is closed through Sunday. Our customers are getting rather angry and
needless to say, that is not good.
