DHCP for multiple NICs

bimmerdriver
Normally I never connect any of my laptops to the lan using a wired connection. However, I've been moving a laptop between a wired and wifi connection and I've noticed a problem that appears to be related to DHCP trying to use the same ip address for both. It seems to be causing a conflict. Is there a way to allocate different ip addresses to avoid a conflict?

    Hi, you can create a DHCP reservation for each NIC (using the MAC addresses); if you make the IP different for each, there should be no conflict (it works for me).

    If you don't make a reservation, it should work fine as well, unless the client OS is doing something really strange (what OS is it?).

    Is your DHCP scope large enough?
