mesa 7i96 connection refused

When i did that the ip address seemed to change:

2: enp3s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether f0:4d:a2:fe:86:3e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.10.10.100/24 brd 10.10.10.255 scope global enp3s0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::f24d:a2ff:fefe:863e/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Then when i tried to open my machine it said resource temporarily unavailable (-11) and now ip a returns the 10.10.10.10/8 ip again

the ip address only reverted after cycling the power on my mesa card

Could there be a problem with my 7i96 its self? ive verified it has 5v exactly, all the indicator lights are as they are supposed to be according to the manual.

unless "ip--a" reports a static address of 10.10.10.100 for enp3s0
its entirely a host static IP address setup issue

After doing
sudo ifdown -a
sudo ifup -a
ip a

i get

2: enp3s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether f0:4d:a2:fe:86:3e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.10.10.100/24 brd 10.10.10.255 scope global enp3s0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::f24d:a2ff:fefe:863e/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

now my error when opening the machine changes to resource temporarily unavailable and then ip a returns the old ip
I don't know what else to do i've been working on this for close to 20 straight hours, i am self employed and this machine is the heart of my business.

OK setting the host IP is the first necessary step, that now seems to be OK

I would reboot the computer and see if the host IP address is still 10.10.10.100

If you have set the host IP address to 10.10.10.10 with some other utility
you should remove that connection
