RE: [OT] Tracing the cause of a duplicate IP

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Same here, though my Netgear router handles static IPs differently to
the
Linksys that it's just replaced, in that I don't have to set a fixed IP on
the devices, instead I just leave them as DHCP, but reserve the IP on the
router set-up, so that when it gets an address request, it looks at the
MAC,
and then assigns either a fixed (if it's on the reserved list) or dynamic
address.  Maybe that's normal for routers these days, but it's a new one on
me.

Probably nothing to do with the issue, but I am getting a lot of lost
packets (i.e. 20-25%) when on wireless (even when the notebook is sat 3ft
from the router), which I suspect is down to a faulty router, though
Netgear
are not in full agreement, yet.

Hmmm, sounds likely then.  My dynamic IPs are handed out on the .100 and
above range.  All my machines us static IPs except the Laptop - and that's
the machine I get the message on sometimes.  Last time I looked it had the
.100 address which was probably already in use by a ZP.
