DHCP reservation

When connectiing via WI-FI to our company Network am supposed to get a reserved IP via our DHCP server....

I dont get the rerserved address but I do get an address.......

when checking ADDRESS leases using the DHCP admin tool on my windwos server I see the address listed with my iPad name but the Lease expiration says INACTIVE and the type = NONE

the other iPad's (they dont have reservations) are listed and have TYPE=DHCP which seem to be correct

any idea why my iPad does not seme not be able to use a reserved IP..I have double checked my MAC address over and over for typo's but its in there accruratly

If I delete the reservation.....and then just do a regular DHCP like the other iPads do once again I DO get an addres handed to me ...but when veiwing the DHCP admin tool I never see my ipads name in the name field where as all the other ipads do have their iPads name listed one their assigned IP line

this I have observed for quite some time and I have no explaination for why myiPad's name does nto get displyed withing the ADDRESS LEASE details screen

I called Apple support on the phone and as soon as I started talking about DHCP..the tech said they dont offer that kind of support ! I even bought applecare in order to have this kind of supporrt as we go forward using this device in our windows enviroment.... To be honest, I am strugging to get these iPads to be a usefull tool for my users ina Windows business environment .......I see where its a great device for one to have for your personal use....but boy its hard alternative to a windows tablet...... and to hear there may be very limited support for issues like this that are rooted on TCPIP connectiviey and such is dissapointing to say the least
