Wrong IP address on Pi Zero

This happened on my 3B+ when I first started it. The cause in this case was that the ethernet cable was not plugged in properly.

My fault as the cable I was using had previously been plugged into a television and I had cut off the locking tag to make it possible to get get the cable out without removing the television from the wall.

Why not? Unless he wants to talk to Sprint it makes no odds.. Or maybe he actually owns that range,

Anyway, one assumes it was an example

He doesn't, and should not be using it. If you use a non-private IP range on a local network, you risk all traffic being exposed externally.

It's what is called a bad example, and unhelpful to anyone interested in setting up a working network.

Go away and learn enough about routing on the internet to realise how foolish a remark that was.

Another typo - ignore it, but my comment about 255.255.255.n vs

255.255.255.ip convention in that post is as I said.

Ok an update on the problem I was having.

From one of the replies I went to find the linux equivalent of ipconfig /release etc for windows. I found the answer and was about to try it on the Pi Zero when my network went down.

Here I should say that I am or was using a VM Hub 3 in modem mode with a TP Link Archer AC 1750 router. I had this setup for about 2 months and everyhing was working, but yesterday the problems began after I rebooted the router in an attempt to get a DHCP IP address of 192.160.0. something.

My IP cctv cameras were not showing anything on another monitor, but a switch showed that they were working,from the blinking leds on a switch. Then there was no wireless connection to my android equipment.

So , in conclusion, I disconnected the TP link router and set the vm Hub back to router mode, and after a short while , my network came back, cameras were displaying pictures on the monitor and wireless was back.

So for now, I am going to stick with this setup, and I have no ideas as to why the TP Link router developed the said problems.

I have never found they needed a reason.
