Comment 95 for bug 31037

Hello, Jim! Usually all devices in your network must be configured
with unique IP and MAC . If you connect to any host, you should know
the remote ip-address or host name.
If you have dublicated ip-addresses, the connection will be
established with the current IP in the ARP-table of your host. Verify
ip-addressing in the network, and you will be able connect to remote
host with the first attempt.
