I just took over a LAN/WAN structure and this is
something that I've never seen before.
When pinging across these two subnets, I'm getting
an extra IP address for the main router:
Main Office: (c3620)
Eth0: 10.0.0.1
Serial1/1: 10.0.5.2 <<---PPP to 10.0.5.1
Remote Office:(c1601)
Eth0:10.0.6.1
Serial0: 10.0.5.1 <----PPP to 10.0.5.2
Starting in the main office's subnet, I'm pinging:
10.0.0.1
10.0.5.2
10.0.5.1
10.0.5.3 <---where is this coming from?!?!??
10.0.6.1
However, when doing a tracroute to an IP in the
10.0.6.0, the 10.0.5.3 IP does not show up.
If I telnet to this address (10.0.5.3), I get the
logon prompt for the main router.
Why is this happening?
TIA,
Mark

Is the WAN subneted? if yoy have subneted 10.0.5.0 to /30, then .3 is your broadcast address, that might explain my you receive an answer on that ping.

I have a same problem in my network.One ip address which is assigned to pix, are localised to switch and create a conflict and disturb our network.When we reboot the switch it disappear and after it appear again.
I think it is a ghorst ip address.How we can resovl it ?
Best regards.
