That would seem to imply that it saw multiple MAC addresses with the same
IP address. That might happen if your laptop was plugged into a wire for
part of the time, and connected by wifi for part of the time. Each of the
laptop's interfaces will have its own MAC address, although DHCP should
therefore give them distinct IP addresses as well.
Dup ip addrs can also occur if you've a DHCP range of ip addrs to auto-assign
and another device has been manually assigned an ip addr from that DHCP range.
If you're able to get in the OpenWRT mgmt. gui, there's an arp table in their
somewhere that will list all the mac addrs and ip addrs pairs that the Buffalo
sees on the network.
You can also run the "arp -a" command on the windows device and see what mac &
ip addrs pairs it sees on the network.
I have seen the arp table in OpenWRT. It shows a different IP address
for the machine, but it may be from a few years ago. I haven't checked
to see if it's the CAT-5 connection, or if it's even still connected to
something. I just tried to connect via a browser and am told that it
can't be reached.
I think the idea Russell suggested is probably the culprit.
Thanks for the reply.
