Whenever I run auto-discovery some PCs come up again with the same resolved DNS name but a different IP address because DHCP is setup on the local network. Is there any way to avoid this?
How can I stop Auto-Discovery discovering the same PC more than once?

Dear Jonathan,
are these devices entered in PRTG with their IPs or their hostnames in the IP Address/DNS Name-field? Is your (local) DNS-Server updated with the DHCP-assigned IPs in time to the DNS-Names?
best regards.
