About this tag
The tag 'ghost ip' on WindowsForum.com refers to a persistent IP address conflict or residual network entry that remains after hardware changes, such as replacing a motherboard or computer. In one detailed thread, a user describes how after upgrading from a custom-built Windows 10 PC to a new HP system, their router continued to assign or retain the old IP address (192.168.1.111) for the new machine, causing ongoing issues with keyboard and mouse functionality. The discussion focuses on troubleshooting steps to remove this stale IP assignment, including router configuration resets, DHCP lease clearing, and Windows network adapter resets. The tag covers network configuration problems where an IP address lingers despite hardware or name changes, often requiring manual intervention to resolve connectivity or device conflicts.
