Check the arp cache on the router to see if there is a mapping for the IP
address to the MAC address of the earlier owner. If so, delete the same.
arp -a can be used to display the arp cache. Better yet, have IP address
reservation at the DHCP for the clients connecting in and configure static
IP pool with the RRAS server. This way, there won't be conflict between the
ip address assigned to the machines on the LAN and the remote clients.
