 ===== IP address collisions =====

     * Could there be an IP collision case, as described [[dhcp_server_problems#IP address collisions|above]]? Some DHCP clients, when getting a new IP address, check if anybody on the LAN answers on this address (by an ARP request), and refuse to use this address if it is found already in use by another host. If this is suspected, do:
       - Disconnect //all// hosts from the LAN
-      - Click the **Reset** button under **IP address lease status** on the [[web_gui:dhcp_server|DHCP Server - Advanced]] page.

       - Reconnect all hosts again one-by-one so that each host in turn will get its IP address refreshed from the Internet Gate.
-    * If it is suspected that the //lease database// in the Internet Gate has been lost, or is wrong (maybe the unit has been moved, or factory reset), do the same procedure as above.

   * If the static IP address doesn't work either, check the cables and the IP address used (see also [[connect_to_gui|here]]). Only when this works, switch to a dynamic address in the PC.
