In simple home network, how it is possible to ping 192.168.1.1 and get a response from 192.168.0.34? Mikrotik router RB951G-2HnD (mipsbe) firmware v. 3.18.

  • The router sits at gateway IP address 192.168.1.1
  • Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0

enter image description here

Accompanying symptoms:

  • All devices are only on 192.168.1.X so 192.168.0.X is not used.
  • All known devices except of my PC have static IP addresses assigned manually, no other dynamically assigned ones (DHCP) are currently present in the network.
  • Internet connection at the PC looks to be interrupted – for no obvious reason (i.e. after no obvious action from my side; + there seems to be no real outage from the provider).
  • ipconfig shows that IP configuration is lost (there are no devices left which keep any IP config).
  • ipconfig /release & ipconfig /renew hangs at ipconfig /renew and times out.
  • IMPORTANT: Internet connection will be restored only if I disconnect and reconnect wireless connection. (Then it will be restored immediately and ping 192.168.1.1 again returns response from 192.168.1.1 as expected.)
  • On my PC I'm using ESET Security suite (firewall, antivirus, etc. ... maybe not related)
  • There's nothing poisonous in .hosts file.
  • I think there are no other DHCP devices on the network. Currently I'm the only PC on the network, there is one managed switch (mgmt page seems to be unreachable, strange) and one IP phone connected to the switch (reachable).
  • After I recovered the connection (as mentioned above)
    • pinging 192.168.0.34 writes General Failure:
      enter image description here
    • tracert for the above addresses:
      enter image description here
  • █ If I disconnect from the network, then unlike 192.168.1.1, IP 192.168.0.34 is still present and throwing the above general failures.

It looks there is a problem with the PC rather than with the network, but how can I find what is that strange 192.168.0.34 which persists after disconnecting and occassionally also shadows the gateway?

  • I take it when the static IP is set that the gateway is set to 192.168.1.1? And also check the hosts file.

  • When it's doing this, can you ping 192.168.0.34? Are you sure there's no other devices acting as a DHCP server on your network (another router, WAP, WiFi repeater, etc.)?

  • Try a tracert, it will show the route taken for the ping. Also, what is your subnet mask? What happens if you use a browser to open 192.168.0.34?

  • We need a ping and tracert to 192.168.0.34 when the problem you're describing is happening, not when 192.168.1.1 is answering as expected. :)

One of your adapters might be interfering w/ your connection.

Try disabling VPN clients' adapters and then re-enabling them.

    True. I disabled all adapters except the Wi-FI and re-enabled them. The strange IP 192.168.0.34 disappeared. I did not verify which one was causing that, perhaps I'll be able to find out next time when this happens. Thank you.
