If you have duplicate IP addresses on the network, you can ping that IP address to get an ARP response from one device or the other. You can also look at the local ARP table to see the IP-to-MAC associations for that particular scenario. The issue arises when two or more devices on the same network are assigned the same IP address, creating confusion. Unmanaged switches operate at Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) and forward Ethernet frames based on MAC addresses, not IP addresses. MAC Address Table Learning Unmanaged switches. My connection looks to be intermittently working, sometimes I can't access it, then sometimes I can but I will be disconnected after 1 minute or so.

It is assigning the same IP address to multiple devices. None of these are static IP addresses. This is causing all kinds of headaches for me. Depending on the sender, they might receive partial traffic or they might not receive any traffic at all.
