Multiple IP addresses assigned to one printer?
I updated my vcore3 from ratos 1.x to 2.1 and am running into an issue. I am connected via ethernet, but during the setup I also gave the Wifi network+password which I think might be the main problem. My router is showing 2 IP addresses for the printer, and Orca Slicer crashes when I try to send a file (I am using the hostname instead of the IP in Orca Slicer) . A window pops up and says something about multiple IP addresses, then crashes. Prusaslicer sends files just fine even using just the Hostname, but it still remains that there are multiple IP addresses. Is there somewhere in RatOS that I can either disable the Wifi or is there another problem here?

That's a slicer bug. It is normal that a computer has multiple IP addresses
Each interface gets an IP address, that's normal.
I have multiple printers. The printers that are connected to Ethernet also had the WiFi credentials put in during the config show 2 IP addresses. Another printer was set up exactly the same except it was never connected to Ethernet, only WiFi. My router only shows the 1 IP, and orca slicer has no problem sending files to that printer using the host name. Is it just something I have to deal with? I haven't tried disconnecting the Ethernet to see if orca will get along with that.
It is something that orca should fix
The solution is to use the ip address instead of the hostname. The hostname is the same for both ethernet and wifi since its the name of the machine essentially. Therefore some programs will not know which ip address to talk to and crash. Find out the ethernet ip and use that going forward. I use orca with a ratrig which is set up the same way and have no problems using ip.
