            do you have a reservation (static mapping) for the client - maybe you typo'd the IP to give it?

                What version of pfSense are you running? Are there anything in the logs that is showing an error?

                  Have you verified that PFsense is giving out that address? That happened to me once, and someone else had incorrectly setup a 2nd DHCP server instead of a 2nd DNS server.

                    Some systems will report the DHCP server they last used. (Windows Vista ipconfig command if I recall correctly.) That can help verify the system got the "wrong" IP address from the "right" server.

                    It could also be informative to look at the pfSense DHCP log to see how pfSense treated the DHCP requests from systems that got the "wrong" IP address. (See Status -> System Logs, click on DHCP tab.)
