Thanks Justin and Osier. I had searched for a leases file on the machine
before, but couldn't find it so thank you for pointing that out. I had
thought about installing nmap, but figured I had to have some better record
on the machine itself.

Thanks also for the tip on Rich's blog post. I found it at
