[Samba] DNS returns a wrong ip address

[Christopher Wensink]

+1 for the guest PC scenario.   I have had this before, when one machine 
has virtualbox installed, and then the software installs a virtual NIC 
on it's own private network that does not follow the same scheme as the 
rest of the LAN.

You can try using Angry IP scanner to scan all hosts in a given IP range 
to get the mac address if it's not already in your ARP table, then do a 
mac address search on the switches to determine what port it was found 
on, then trace that back to the Patch cable to get it's physical location.
