This is Windows you are talking about here, right?If you do not enable internet connection sharing with the USB ethernet adaptor interface, the Pi will have an address in the 169.254.x.x range and will have no internet access. If you do enable internet connection sharing, it will have an address in the range 192.168.137.x and you will be able to use the internet.
Eh? I don't understand what you're asking.LogicalUnit wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 3:17 amCan you please tell me how to disable this on an RPi that I have configured with a static IP, and no longer want raspberrypi.local to resolve to its address?

The issue is that I have multiple Raspberry Pis on the same network, and raspberrypi.local isn't resolving to the one I want.DougieLawson wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 8:10 amEh?

If you don't want the (in some ways very useful) Bonjour configurationless networking then purge all of the avahi* packages with sudo apt purge avahi*;sudo apt autoremove;
And note that (rhetorical) you should do this regardless of any specific problem or issue. Every machine on a network should have a unique hostname or all sorts of weird/bad things can/will happen.Give each machine a unique hostname and your problem will vanish.
Unless you don't need, or want it.
Curiously (like CUPS) avahi (aka Bonjour) is one of the better things that Apple have developed*. For most home users being able to find their local devices with somehostname.local rather than 192.168.3.14 makes perfect sense to me. The only hard part is avoiding the overlap of hostnames.GlowInTheDark wrote: ↑Sat Aug 15, 2020 10:29 am
And, of course, there is no reason at all to disable avahi.
I agree in principle (of course, given my previous post), but the one quibble I have with it (your assertion) is that it (avahi) overlaps functionality with (rhetorical) your router.Curiously (like CUPS) avahi (aka Bonjour) is one of the better things that Apple have developed*.

Thanks for this advice. I did aDougieLawson wrote: ↑Sat Aug 15, 2020 12:04 amGive each machine a unique hostname and your problem will vanish.
