p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; }a:link { } Hello,
I'm have an interesting issue with some Raspberry Pi's which I have on my home network.
The pi's are on 192.168.1.102, 192.168.1.103, 192.168.1.104
Something very strange is happening on my network. The pi on 192.168.1.104 is appearing as 192.168.1.13, this is in the range of devices assigned via DHCP. Then, once I noticed it appearing twice, as 192.168.1.104 and 192.168.1.13 Then after refreshing the netgear console, the pi appears again as only 192.168.1.13
Then one time after refreshing the netgear console, no devices appear, not even my DHCP assigned ones.
The pi on .103 is appearing (when it appears at all as .16.
Then when refreshing, I see the pi on 192.168.1.103 appearing correctly, while the .104 pi appears still at .13
Then sometimes, the .104 and the .103 pi's appear correctly, but only for a moment as I view them on netgear console. Then sometimes they disappear, sometimes they resolve back to the .104 address and only the .103 pi disappears.
Then the pi on 192.168.1.104 started appearing on 192.168.1.17 and on 192.168.1.13
In short, the addresses are all over the place.
When I ping them I also get non-conclusive results. They didn't ping on their proper addresses, then they pinged for a while on the .13 and .16 address. Then they started not pinging on those addresses at all.
A few days later, when I try again, the pi on 192.168.1.104 pings on that address.
Today, when I tried again, they ping on 192.168.1.104.
On 192.168.1.103, I get:
Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1
Request timeout for icmp_seq 2
64 bytes from 192.168.1.103: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=92.383 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.103: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=8.467 ms
I just don't understand what's going on
My /etc/network/interfaces (on the .104 address pi) is:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet manual
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
wpa-ssid "hogwartschoolofmagic"
wps-psk "xxxxxxxxxxxx"
address 192.168.1.104
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
allow-hotplug wlan1
iface wlan1 inet manual
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
/etc/wpa-supplicant.conf is
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=US
network={
ssid="hogwartschoolofmagic"
psk="xxxxxxxxxxx"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
The other pi's are configures in a similar way only the addresss and computer names change.
I don't really know who to ask for help. Is this a netgear router issue? Is it a Linux issue? Is it a Raspberry Pi issue?
If someone could shed some light on my problem, I would be grateful.
