Spikey020 0 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) I received a notification from ESET today that there was a possible network attack whilst on my laptop, and that there was a duplicate IP address on the network, the IP address that was shown is that from my TV box that is also connected to my modem as I have TV and internet from the same provider. In the ESET logs it shows the ARP protocol for the attack. When I checked the IP addresses there was no conflict, my laptop and the TV box have different IP addresses so I don't understand why I got this message Any advice appreciated Sorry I posted this twice but could not figure out how to delete the post Edited September 30, 2018 by Spikey020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using static IP addresses or DHCP in your network? If DHCP it is possible, it is possible devices were assigned new IP and that is why it seems to be fine now, but maybe it was not during startup of devices.
