Public bug reported: I posted this on the Ubuntu-MATE bug report before this (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate/+bug/1711460), but I don't know how active that place is so I'm also going to post it here. I also don't know if this is the right package to post this in, but since there is no clear way to post bugs with ambiguous sources of problems, I am posting here.
When I do a scan of my local network via the command arp-scan --localnet, I find that the IP of the machine which has Ubuntu-MATE on it shows up in the list of IPs brought back by arp-scan. But when I ssh to that machine and then issue the command arp-scan --localnet from the machine that I had sshed from, I find that the IP address of the computer with Ubuntu-MATE on it is absent from the list. I expect the IP address with the machine with Ubuntu-MATE to show up. I tested this with other machines and operating systems and those still returned an IP address when issued arp-scan --localnet. The Ubuntu-MATE machine was the only one which didn't.
