Hey guys,
I need some info on this . I have a router/gw with x.x.x.1 ip address . When a linux system within the same n/w pings the gw, linux box gets updated with a different MAC address of gw in its ARP table as compared with a Windows system. Both Windows and linux system are in the same network.
However, Windows system is able to use the router effectivity and connect to outside world.
I am not able to physically see the router.Neither I am able to use a browser to connect x.x.x.1.
Is the router having 2 or more ethernet adapters but same IP given to each one of them ? How come multiple linux systems are obtaining the MAC address of router whereas windows are obtaining a differnt set ?
