IP-Address resolution fails when client uses DHCP
I have some network-printers which use DHCP to get an IP-address.
I discovered the printers and OPManager stores them in the database.
whenever one of these printers is switched off nad on again, it gets another IP-address from the DHCP-server.
But OPManager still uses the old IP-Address to ping the printer. So it does not respond to this address and OPManager thinks the device is down.
When I manually ping the printer with OPManager, it responds immediately. So it seems, that the monitoring is done with the stored IP-Address but the manual pings are done with the hostname.
Is there any solution to this problem?
