Hi All
I have a rb2011il-rm
my setup is a ISP router in bridge mode and my rb2011il-rm acts as my router.
In the last several weeks i noticed lots of disconnects (my laptop - Desktop LAN cable connected through a patch panel at home office)
Anyways on the weekend i decided to try and sort it, usually disabling and re-enabling lan port on desktop for example would fix the issue.
I was suspecting faulty patch panel or faulty ports on mikrotik as its quite old now .
So i bypassed the patch panel and same thing occurred. I then tried to use a different unused port on my rb2011il-rm and same thing.
It happened this evening and i said id check IPCONFIG on desktop when it happens, as i never lose access to internet from the router, im always able to ping out to say 8.8.8.8
On my PC when i do ipconfig i can see that somehow randomly the router is assigning my desktop the public IP address that my router uses
It usually give me something from the 10.10.10.* range (private IP) and now it happened again and again i see it has given my desktop its own IP the public IP
Is this a known issue or is it to do with my config ? the config on the rb2011il-rm has been the same last few years i made no changes.
Any help appreciated.
