puzzling network connection issue.
Hi,
I've had this problem with my computer across a couple of networks
recently and I was wondering if anyone here could shed light on it.
When I turn my computer on, it detects the network correctly (be it
ether or wireless)
Jun 10 21:51:15 heidl kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
Jun 10 21:51:17 heidl dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to
255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
Jun 10 21:51:17 heidl avahi-daemon[2952]: Registering new address
record for fe80::20a:e9ff:fe0c:bced on wlan0.*.
Jun 10 21:51:19 heidl dhclient: DHCPOFFER from 192.168.1.254
Jun 10 21:51:19 heidl dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
Jun 10 21:51:19 heidl dhclient: DHCPACK from 192.168.1.254
Jun 10 21:51:19 heidl avahi-daemon[2952]: Joining mDNS multicast group
on interface wlan0.IPv4 with address 192.168.1.69.
Jun 10 21:51:19 heidl avahi-daemon[2952]: New relevant interface
wlan0.IPv4 for mDNS.
Jun 10 21:51:19 heidl avahi-daemon[2952]: Registering new address
record for 192.168.1.69 on wlan0.IPv4.
Jun 10 21:51:19 heidl dhclient: bound to 192.168.1.69 -- renewal in
37236 seconds.
At this point I can connect to the internet and surf, etc fine. The
problem is that other computers on the network cannot see me (mostly
windows machines using Windows Networking).
When I do an ifconfig it turns out that despite the above, the listed
"inet adr" is always the same one as the broadband router and not the
same one i was assigned.
If I then do a:
ifdown wlan0
ifup wlan0
exactly the same network address gets assigned to me but this time, it
turns up correctly in my ifconfig and other computers in my network
can see me.
How can this be?
thanks for any help, am quite puzzled.
