I’m curious what you mean by “hardware confusion.”
For example you have 2 devices that are capable of providing DHCP services (new router and the old time capsule). The time capsule needs a wan address from your new router in your room, and then it probably NATs it’s own DHCP network (your linux server and laptop in your office). If the time capsule happens to be giving DHCP addresses which are the same as the addresses that the router it is connecting to is giving, you’ll get some issues.
Ah, I see what you mean. The Time Capsule wasn’t on the net during the problems so I don’t think this was an issue. Even when I tried getting it to join the net it was in “bridge mode,” which takes care of determining what it can NAT out to additional clients based on the DHCP server that assigned its IP.
