Dear Peter, > If there is another machine on the network with a static IP set the > same as yours that would not show. However if it is up you could try > pinging it using the other interface (ie. switch off wireless then > ping the wireless IP over the wired connection) nothing should answer. The ping shows a "Destination Host Unreachable" error when done from both interfaces to the other (disconnected) interface, which does seem to indicate that there isn't another PC trying to use my IP addresses. > As I said I think this is unlikely as the problem would be unlikely to > disappear so quickly if this was the case. Certainly - the PCs on this network are generally connected early in the day and left on until the evening, so there's very little likelihood of random collisions, that is unless the Windows machines are reconnecting more frequently by themselves. > I was confused by your ip addr output as you have 2 IPv4 addresses for > the ethernet.

It seems as though 192.168.1.107 is for the Ethernet, and 192.168.1.99 is for the wireless interface. The 192.168.1.71 (Ethernet) address is listed with a prefix length of 32 instead of the usual 24; maybe this is the difference? As for the wireless interface, I can only see one IP address so maybe there were only three in total. Thanks for your continuing help :) Best wishes, Sebastian -- - Freenode: 'seabass' - Matrix: '@seabass:chat.weho.st' -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dcglug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
