I'm not aware of one. BUT: you updated with ifconfig output, it shows up and a valid address even when not working, so it's not the problem I've been describing.

But the DHCP server at home does not remember addresses for that long (at least the ones built into commodity routers don't; a standalone DHCP server often does retain lease records after expiration). | |
| Apr 9, 2012 at 14:33 | comment | added | Miles Erickson | Under this scenario, if @Denis comes home from work with a "last known address" on the 10.10.2.0/24 network, how could that address possibly work to communicate on his 192.168.1.0/24 network? | |
| Apr 9, 2012 at 11:08 | comment | added | geekosaur | I'm confused by your confusion. It comes up with the last known address for a few minutes (I don't know why this takes so long but I have seen it), releases that when the DHCP server tells it "no you may not use that address" (which is based on it not remembering addresses forever), comes back when it gets a new address from the DHCP server. "About computer with the same address", I did say theoretically; don't read too much into it, it's saying why Apple's choice to try to reuse the last known address immediately was a bad idea in general, not an explanation of your problem. | |
| Apr 9, 2012 at 11:00 | comment | added | Denis | I'm confused about the fact, that connection works first for few minutes, than it's broken for 3-5minutes and than it works again. About computer with the same address - this is not the case, I have a reserved IP addresses lists, based on MAC addresses, setup on router | |
