D-Link Wireless Router and DHCP Problems

I have a D-Link DI-614+ Wireless router/firewall. It is configured to
be a DHCP Server. It is able to serve an address to the hard-wired
computer that is connected to one of the switch ports.
It also decides to serve the other 99 available IP Address to an
unknown MAC Address. It's the same MAC Address every time:
52-41-53-20-00-C0. I have WEP enabled, and know that I am not getting
hijacked; this has been happening since day one of the installation,
and even when I disable the wireless connection completely.
I've tried upgrading the Firmware, with no luck.
Rebooting the device clears the DHCP table, and I can then get my
wireless laptop an IP Address. But, if I wait a while before
reconnecting to the network (it's at home; I don't use the laptop
there all the time), the address is released, and given back to the
unknown MAC Address.
I'm running Windows XP; someone from D-Link mentioned that the DHCP
Server got a little screwey with XP Clients on the network, anyone
heard of this???

HELP!

Not that I know of although I had been unlucky with the setup tool for
my D-Link router here as well. I ended up with disabling the DHCP
server and assigning fixed IP addresses to my network adapters.

Get rid of that POS and buy a Netgear router.
