Several months ago, I changed from a 192.168.44.3 to a 192.168.1.* IP address. (NOTE: I use DHCP static assigns. ie. the omsc goes to the DHCP firewall server and is given the same IP address)
Everything worked fine. I could watch videos, login via ssh to the 192.168.1.* address etc.
Recently, I was checking my firewall, block logs and I noticed a strange thing.
I saw my OSMC at 192.168.1.X trying to send to 192.168.44.3
So i ssh’d successfully into 192.168.1.x.
Now the really strange thing. After doing some looking around and not finding anything conclusive, so I did a ifconfig .
osmc@osmc-mbr:/etc$ ifconfig
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.44.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.44.255
ether b8:27:eb:88:a5:01 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)

RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 5285 bytes 544602 (531.8 KiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
Remember, i have ssh into this at 192.168.1.x issued the command from inside and yet it’s reporting as 192.168.44.3
Never seen this before. Tried to delete it and rebooted but it keeps re-appearing. The other thing there is only one IP address, instead of Two so it’s not holding onto an old address as well as the newer one.
Never seen this before…puzzled. Any ideas of clues.
The OSMC is set for DHCP (my osmc - Network -Configure network manually). it shows the DHCP address of 192.168.1.x that it has been given.
