PI IRLP Double IP Address

Ken Pokigo
 

I have a weird problem with my Pi node.
I have it set for static IP on eth0 as boot up default ex. 192.168.1.118
When i boot the node and look at the connected  devices in my router, I see the 192.168.1.118 static  device.
However there appears to be a second DHCP address assigned for the node as well, ex. 192.168.1.44
Anyone have a clue whats going on?

I have my ports open to 192.168.1.118 and everything works fine...
Why the 2 IPs?

is it possible that one is a hardwire IP assignment and the other is
your pi connecting via wifi?

Routers sometimes cache DHCP connected devices so the same IP can be assigned when they reconnect. You are probably seeing an inactive DHCP record. That record will probably go away eventually unless the device reconnects via DHCP again.

Thank you for the suggestions so far.
I will check
The PI has no wifi adapter

The problem is you set the static IP address using /etc/network/interfaces, and your node is also running the WICD system.

The problem is that wicd is not set to ignore the settings in /etc/network/interfaces, and it happily overwrites them.

So, if this sound familiar (or you have the static IP assigned in /etc/network/interfaces), you need to remove wicd.

apt-get remove wicd-curses
