[SOLVED] Cannot SSH into my Pi anymore

[Loose Nut]

Hey guys

Everything has been going great with my PI until today.  I went to watch something this morning and Kodi could not find any of my files on the pi.  I had a look at my router and the IP of my Pi had changed.  I was confused as I had assigned it a static IP of 192.168.1.10, it was now 192.168.1.6.  I did a bit of looking and realised that with my router you can not assign an IP in the range of 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.20 as these are the IPs it automatically assigns to devices.  I have now assigned it an ip of 192.168.1.21 and it is showing up as having that IP in my router AND an automatically assigned IP of 192.168.1.9. I cannot SSH into the .21 IP but I can SSH into the .9 IP.

It also is being given an IPv6 address.

I am really confused about this.  I can still access my files through SMB on Windows, but Kodi cannot find them as it is using NFS and doesn't know the new IP address.  Can anyone think of a way to fix this?
Thanks

If you reboot the Pi it will get the right IP address from the router's DHCP server when it reboots and all should be well

You may have to adjust your Kodi settings so it points to the new IP for NFS.

The issue is still occurring after a reboot of the pi.

Got it working

What did you do to fix it?

I used DHCP instead of ARP.

Hmm that's interesting, ARP is a layer 2 thing (OSI model), could you reserve the Banana Pi in the ARP table?

Yeah I could, but it was being assigned two IPs and only the DHCP auto assigned one was working.
