Netduma Liam Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Does PC1 in your example show as being offline in Device Manager? Does PC1 and PC2 both show as having the same IP address? Can you remove PC1 to avoid any future confusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PillCosbyJr Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 They both show as active lan connection with the same IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 14, 2022 Administrators Share Posted June 14, 2022 That sounds to me like the device has been connected to the WiFi and at a separate point, ethernet or vice versa. The PC would have a different MAC address depending on how it is connected and therefore show as two devices. If you give it a reserved IP that may resolve it, or giving them the names you have done and add based on how it is connected and should work without a reset.

PillCosbyJr Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Seen 2 mac address makes sense now. My desktop PC is only connected via Ethernet thru a switch and then the switch to XR1000. Thus there are 2 different mac address but same hostname and IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the make and model of the switch out of interest? Is it a managed switch or unmanaged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PillCosbyJr Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Its a managed switch https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PLFCQVK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you able to run the switch in an unmanaged mode or do you need it to be accessible via an interface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
