printer off?<br>
<br>
Or as an alternative, if your machine isn't offering any services, simply<br>
to temporarily assign it a different IP statically?<br>
<br>
Two different devices with the same IP address really has no workable<br>
solutions. There will be continuous conflict between the two devices trying<br>
to update the ARP cache with two different MAC addresses with the same IP.</div>

<div class="PlainText">If I was there, I'd unplug it. I could probably use arpspoof and hammer the gateway. My connection to the remote device is setup in a way that it is intolerant of most transient issues on its network. It creates a VPN back with tight
keep alives and tests within the VPN connection,. If the gateway was to have Internet issues, the device would tear down the connection within 30s and reconnect. Of course, this resets my SSH.</div>
