I noticed as well for 2.5 snapshot!

allowSystemPings = true, allowDHCPListen = true ? Are you using arping with a proper path (/usr/sbin/arping usually, but YMMV) ?

Reading the forums I realise there are possible problems with 2.4. I don’t know if my observations on a clean in…

You can always just add a manual network ping thing and enter the IP. The automatic discovery does not work with OH 2.4 right now according to many reports.
