Interesting. It's obviously wanting to use the 192.168.2.9 address, but doesn't seem to be actually going ahead and using it. Unfortunately it's been ages since I had to work with IP(v4) network layer stuff in real depth, so I'm mostly out of sensible ideas.
For a non-sensible idea, I kind of wonder what happens if you already have something on the network using 192.168.2.9? ie What is its fallback behaviour?
If really, really, really lucky, the fallback behaviour might be to use the original 192.168.1.2 address. But, it could just as likely be "pick another address at random" or "stop working right here".
Um, good luck?
