</div></div>Could be several things.<br>
<br>
1) If using DHCP ...<br>
<br>
DHCP Server (on router?) does not like the client requesting a new<br>
DHCP lease different than its prior and/or expects the client to<br>
request the same address, denying it if it does not. I.e., Linux and<br>
Windows don't know each other DHCP leases. If you are in Windows far<br>
more than Linux, statistically this could be the reality.<br>
<br>
2) If using UPnP ...<br>
<br>
The UPnP (Router) could have some settings sent by Windows that Linux<br>
does not, and the Router does not like. This could include everything<br>
from Windows proprietary / non-IETF DDNS for hostname to countless<br>
other things not supported by IETF Zeroconf but only proprietary<br>
Windows services.<br>
<br>
In general, take a look at your router's settings and see if there are<br>
some advanced services that may be Windows proprietary. Otherwise it<br>
could be as simple as DHCP lease settings/expectations, that the DHCP<br>
server expects the DHCP client to send a request for the same IP if in<br>
the lease window.<br>
