I recently noticed, my PC, in my home network, is being assigned with three (3) IP address instead of only one (1) by DHCP.
Why it could happen?
Could it be related to software installed on the PC (virtualization systems, etc.)?
MAC address is the same in each case, however, Client ID’s are different - for rows with extra IPs Client ID’s are longer.
I can ping the only one IP of three, indeed (IP addresses with longer Client IDs return ‘Destination host unreachable’).
When I delete extra IPs, they appear again after a few minutes.
The issue is the same after the upgrade to the newer Router OS.
Configuration:
Mikrotik model: 4011
Router OS: v.6.47.8
Client’s PC OS: Windows 7 x64
Yes, the VMs take their IPs from the router’s DHCP. But, they are not run when multiple IP addresses are being assigned.
The addresses are being assigned when VMs are stopped and not running.
The client IDs start with RAS so I think it is done by the RAS subsystem. (remote access)
When you do not know what that is and why you use it, it is probably best to disable it.
Do you mean RAS on the client PC W7 that receives the extra IPs?
I have an incoming Connection here and .. it looks like this is the reason of two extra IPs.
Thank you.
