  • ran the above and the following pops up. the MAC ending is c3 is the new one I assigned to the 20.91 address on DHCP pfsense server about an hr ago.

    EDIT: wondering whether this may be a network manager problem on the VM client? See here

    EDIT2: Even tried running ip addr flush dev <your_adapter_id> as suggested here but no effect at all

    EDIT3: This is now solved. It was a client problem. Somewhere buried in the system, a static IP had been set up on this machine in the past I image.

    When running ntmui, the 106 address was configured as static address. Deleted it and now only sees the 91 address. Didn’t realise you coudl set two IPs against same interface. This is the page that helped following advice from @nibbler@discuss.tchncs.de of runnign dhclient -v ens18; for i in $(seq 60); do ip a s dev ens18; sleep 1; done









  • What a surprise … if I were to believe this I would file for madness state support. Look like the VM is having a nice chat with the DHCP sever and both agree that the IP should be 192.168.2’.91. Then one of the two cheat, and actually work on 106. Logs in DHCP server a showing nothing. I even told pfSense to ignore the machine ID and it had no effect whatsoever. If there was another DHCP server hiding somewhere, dhclient would have picked that up presumably.
