ipcop support

okay so i have my dhcp setup to 192.168.10.5 to 192.168.10.99, the numbers from 100 onwards are static ip's
my issue is this, when i sometimes plug in a new computer using the dhcp part of this and not a static number i get 192.168.0.x for some strange reason, the only way to get a right number is to unhook the cable and reseat but that doesn't always work so i sometimes need to restart my network for it to go into the 192.168.10.x area.

i found this in the logs if it can tell anyone what the heck is going on.



this is on the day when it last happend, may 21'st

linux noob so take it easy, hopefully this doesn't have anything to do with that i changed network cards in the pc from 3 realtek to 3 3com's, the realteks gave me errors when transfering bigger loads but the 3com's don't, didn't reinstall the pc when i did this.

Find out who is assigning the 192.168.0.2 address.

Hi Elvi81,

As weizen_42 hinted you probably have another device on your network acting as a DHCP server, not a good thing.

Usual suspects are WiFi & other routers.

Good luck.

i actually do have a adsl i use as a router BUT it's usualy off and this happens anyway.

my setup if it's needed.

on ocation i use that adsl router via the green nic but it's not on 24/7, had to use this thing cause i do have other hubs and switches BUT they are industry grade and very noisy, not perfect for the living room.

Note that it is _not_ IPCop and it may well be some time in the past.

Is there anything other than switch & computers plugged into your green network?
Is your switch dumb or does it have other services built in?

Got any server on Green that may be acting as a DHCP server as well?

The list goes on and on.

what i typed in my previous post is accurate, nothing other than a few pc's and that adsl router but it's not on 24/7 as i said
the switch is dumb, no services

no servers on green only normal pc's and none running any servers, at a minimum i have 1 pc running on green every day, maybe 2 to 3 at the same time at max.

there is just nothing that can give the 192.168.0.2 ip and yet ipcop gave it for some strange reason, yes i saw weizen_42's post and it still confuses me, where the heck did the ip come from... when there is no other dhcp running at all.

Are any of the affected computers ever on another network outside of this network?

yes probably as i have a small service buisness but it's always the same ip range, 192.168.0.x
but my own computers usually arn't.

My crystal ball believes that you have Internet Connection Sharing enabled on 1 or more of your Windows PCs.

LOL
not that i know of anyway, nothing i've setup but thanks for the laugh anyway
