A system on my local network (pvr) has its IP address in /etc/hosts<br>

Netgear router accessed from pvr via wireless. It has the address<br>
192.168.10.2 reserved and assigned to pvr. Worked fine. Today after<br>
booting up the latest kernel, (3.2.2-1.fc16.i686.PAE), the IP address<br>
has changed to <a href="http://192.168.10.5" target="_blank">192.168.10.5</a>:<br>

<br>
you'll note that it is 192.168.10.5<br>
<br>
Not surprisingly, I can't ssh 192.168.10.2, but I can ssh 192.168.10.5<br>
<br>
Question: where is this (dynamic?) assignment taking place?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think the machine is requesting the router a new IP and the router couldn't match the MAC of the request with the MAC associated to the reserved IP 192.168.10.2, so is giving a new IP in the range. Something change at the machine, did you check the MAC AE:5D:BA:91:67:2D against your rule in the router?</div>
