Good morning,
I have one network card and are assigned two IP's by my router.
I have DHCP enabled and the adapter is set to obtain IP's automatically which then assigns two IP's.
This does not happen with any other PC's on the network.
Any suggestions / help ?
Thanks,Nelly
Following this will help us better understand what you mean - Basic Requirements Before Posting your Networking Thread
Are both addresses IPv4? - (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) Or is their one which is IPv6? - (XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX::X)
You can only have one IP address assigned per interface so following the above requirements will help us to see what the second IP address correlates to.

Thanks again, Nelly.
Your ethernet adapter has one IP address assigned to it. The second IPv4 Address is your router's IP address of your router so that you machine knows how to get off the network to the internet.
This is normal configuration :)
I did notice that you have an IPv6 address assigned to your tunnel adapter however this shouldn't cause any issues. If you wish I can offer a possible solution to remove the IPv6 address? The choice is yours.
Hope This Helps,
Josh :)

Hello Josh,
Thanks for the assurance of normal operation. I believe I understand your reply : one IP is my PC and one is the "Gateway" to the Internet.
However, when two IP's are on the DHCP table and Network Map of the Hub. The MAC address of both IP's are the same showing that it's the same PC.
The "second" IP address does not end in 254.
Thanks again,Nelly.
p.s. Is it safe to show IP address's ? A bit late now I suppose. Would you delete my IP info please ?
You are correct. :)Thanks for the assurance of normal operation. I believe I understand your reply : one IP is my PC and one is the "Gateway" to the Internet.
Could be an old DHCP lease or it may be your tunnel adapter I do not know, will have to have see the DHCP table in order to better understand it.However, when two IP's are on the DHCP table and Network Map of the Hub. The MAC address of both IP's are the same showing that it's the same PC.
The "second" IP address does not end in 254.
Completely safe, You are using private IP addresses which are used by millions all over the world so no-one can locate you via IP address.p.s. Is it safe to show IP address's ? A bit late now I suppose. Would you delete my IP info please ?
Josh
All appears normal from the perspective of your pc.
However if your router is showing two ips assigned to one mac then one of them might be an old lease. However I have never faced this situation where one mac was associated with two ip addresses .
Your router should reassign the same ip to your pc.
It's strange that your DHCP is holding a lease and not assigning it and rather creating a new lease.
Are you sure no one is spoofing the mac addresses in your network?
Try restarting your router to see if the issue is still there and also keep an eye on the tables for sometime.
If you do an ipconfig /renew the DHCP table will show a two leases for one MAC until one is expired.
Josh
Thanks again for the reassurances.
I've checked the DHCP table and there is , at the moment, only 1 IP address for my PC. I'll check tomorrow when the lease will have expired and see what the situation is then.
Thanks again, Nelly
Hello All,
Just checked the DHCP table and it's back (please see screenshot below)
As you can see this does not occur with any other device on the network.
Thanks for any help,Nelly
