I have assigned IP addresses to the boxes on my home network,
192.168.1.11 thru 192.168.1.14. This arrangement has worked without
problems until today.
When I booted up the machine at 192.168.1.13, instead of the usual
report of eth0 being activated I saw an error message: "Some other host
already uses 192.168.1.13". I was unable to ping 192.168.1.13 from
another machine. Box 192.168.1.13 remained unconnected to the LAN until
I manually activated eth0 using system-config-network. Then everything
worked normally.
I rebooted another of the boxes 192.168.1.11 and got a similar message:
"Some other host already uses 192.168.1.11". Again, activating eth0
solved the problem.
What's happening? Is there an easy solution? If not, what can I do to
troubleshoot this further?
Er, are you using dhcp? You might also check to see if the arp tables
in your router have been flushed.
