Windows 10, second ipv4 address. Unable to remove


Recommended Posts

I've got a weird problem with my windows 10 installation. Though i'm not quite sure this wasn't happening before i upgraded from 8.1...

Anyway..

When i view the details section of my ethernet adapter i noticed it having 2 ipv4 adresses.

One of which i never added myself.

I found multiple posts online to reet the network configuration. But none of them work.

Upon initialising the adapter, i get only 1 (static) ip address, but after a few seconds the second one comes up. This one is always different also.

 

In the advanced section i'm not seeing a second ip address either.

It annoys me because my unraid server is spamming syslog errors because of this ip address.... 

 

Anyway i hope someone can help :)

If I am reading that correctly, that address is 169.254.x.x which is Link-Local:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address

I am not using Windows 10, so I don't know if this is normal behavior for it or not... but it is advised against in the RFC:

 

  Quote

A host with an address on a link can communicate with all other devices on that link, whether those devices use Link-Local addresses, or routable addresses.  For these reasons, a host SHOULD NOT have both an operable routable address and an IPv4 Link-Local address configured on the same interface.

    • Of course the sales are bad. Who even asked for a thinner phone with way less battery? Lightness? It's still a giant brick, it's just a thinner giant brick. It makes no sense at all. Making folding phones thinner, now that does make sense. Because when folded, the thinner it is unfolded, the more usable and pocketable it is when folded. You already expect worse battery at expense of actually being more pocketable. Galaxy Flip, when folded is half the size of S Ultra models and about as thick. That does make a big difference when fitting it in a pocket. But the phone that's as big as Ultra, making it thinner, you don't really solve anything, it's still a giant slab that barely fits into a pocket. All the "Mini" phones made way more sense than this thin crap. Especially now that it's literally impossible to find a phone smaller than 6.5". My dad only needs phone for calls and SMS and he doesn't want to go with smartphone because they are all so massive. Especially cheaper ones. Like, he'd be fine with Galaxy A06 for all he cares in terms of hardware, but it only comes in giant 6.7" format. It's useless. Or is he suppose to find a 800€ old gen iPhone Mini or Zenfone? He doesn't even need those stupid specs and such stupid price. And then you see old people fumbling around with giant smartphones and they don't even need 3/4 of features on them.
    • its funny now instead of robots built for a specific task which is more efficient we are focused on humanoid robots that are built for do anything but might not do it as well because of restrictions similar to how human body works and they were molded after...
    • 3,900 mAh. When compared to the S25 Ultra (5,000), the S25+ (4,900) and the S25 (4,000), it has the worst battery of them all, all because of that slim size. Everything comes with sacrifices.
