I recently changed some stuff with my home network, and the changes sparked a few general networking questions (below is a diagram of what I'm working with):
- Context:
- For both Setup A and Setup B, the ISP modem is *not* in Bridge mode.
- *Setup A*:
- local IP of the Pi was 10.0.0.9.
- I was able to SSH from my laptop to the Pi using the 10.0.0.9 IP address.
- I was able to SSH from the R320 to the Pi using the 10.0.0.9 IP address.
- *During the transition from Setup A to Setup B*:
- Local IP of

wlan0
of the Pi was 10.0.0.9
- Local IP of eth0
of the Pi was 10.0.0.8
- I was able to SSH from my laptop to the Pi using both 10.0.0.9 and 10.0.0.8.
- *Setup B*:
- According to my router:
- 10.0.0.9 is the IP of prodpi
(this is what I named the Pi when I installed the OS).
- 10.0.0.8 is the IP of Raspberry Pi
. I am unable to ping or SSH using this IP address.
- According to the TP-Link network:
- 10.0.0.10 is the IP of prodpi
- I am *unable* to SSH from my laptop or the R320 to 10.0.0.8
- I am *unable* to SSH from my laptop to 10.0.0.9, however I am able to SSH from the R320 to 10.0.0.9.
- I am able to SSH from my laptop and the R320 to 10.0.0.10.
- Questions:
- Do IP addresses point to a specific machine, or do they point to a specific *network interface on a specific machine*?
- Why would I be able to SSH to 10.0.0.9 from the R320, but not my laptop in Setup B?
- Why does my router say 10.0.0.8 is assoicated with a Raspberry Pi
host, but I can't ping it?
