DHCP - Invalid Request (Other - free products)

I am getting in my log a ton of invalid request messages. eventually after running the dhcp server for some time, people will complain that they aren't on the network.
what can cause this?
The web says Common reasons for this happening are the client trying to confirm a lease after it has moved to a different network, or after the least has in fact already expired
I dont think this is the case.

thanks,
Joel

sample from my log:

J.,

who generates log and how? What does 'invalid request' mean? Isn't that sent by the client PC?

Do you have some raw logs from such requests?

The log comes from a VP app that I modified from your sample full server demo.

If Trim(UsedBy(ip)) = Session.HardwareAddress Then
....
Else
AddLog Request invalid. (DHCP_Request)
Session.AdvancedOptions.ErrorMessage = Your request for address & Session.IPAddress & has been denied.
Session.DenyRequest
