check the system logs to see if it is complaining about someone else 
using its IP address.  it sounds suspiciously like that to me.

also, check what MAC address is responding to you (ie, on the client 
box, run "arp -a" and find the MAC address associated with the IP you 
expect).  Compare it at different times.
