IP address conflict

I'm using the network-location feature on my MacBook to set up one location with DHCP and another with a static IP. However, occasionally when changing locations, I receive an IP conflict error message stating that my IP is already in use. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

ethernet interface on my mac returns a wrong IP I have a problem with how dhcp is working with reservations on. Example when I use use wireless the computer will get the correct address 192.168.0.3. ok When I activate the ethernet and turn of the wireless I get a bogus address. This happens after reboot Mac, deleting service and reactivate, with wirless hooked up or not. If I ck the router the IP is there. I have tried to renew the lease. I am wondering if I should just turn off the dhcp reservation altogether? I have a mac mini 2018 with ventura 13.4.1

MacBook Air Self Assigned IP Address I have a Macbook Air, purchased October 2023. It has never had any issue connecting to my home wifi network (or any other wifi network). Software is up to date. A couple of weeks ago, it performed a system update (I have auto update enabled). It would not reconnect to my home wifi, let's call it WiFi-A. I have a secondary network, WiFi-B connected to WiFi-A for coverage reasons. The Macbook connects to WiFi-B with no problem, but it's slower because of the router connected to another router thing. [Re-Titled by Moderator] WiFi-A has 50 other devices connected to it without issue. The Macbook Air is saying "self assigned IP address" and has a non-routable IP address. When I look at the router for WiFI-A, I can see my Macbook Air with an assigned IP address of 192.168.1.37. I tried forcing this in the WiFi settings on the Macbook Air by assigning that address manually but it doesn't work. This issue is unique to this Macbook Air, and happened after a recent update. I want to connect to WiFi-A because it's much faster (and it bugs me that it refuses to connect while 50 other devices have no issue). Yes, I've restarted the router (several times). I deleted the Macbook Air from the router's device list. I've told the Macbook to forget the WiFi-A network. Nothing works. The router continues to assign the same IP address to the Macbook, and the Macbook continues to have the "self-assigned", non-routable address of 169.xxx.xxx.xxx. Ideas?
