I'm running Rasplex on a pi 3. I enabled ethernet tethering to share my network connection to wifi-free devices. Is DHCP being served from my pi by default maybe? I can't get the devices I connect to the ethernet port to appear on my LAN.
Ethernet tethering question...

If you enabled ethernet tethering the Pi provides DHCP to devices via Ethernet. However the tether hides devices behind NAT so they will not be visible to other devices on the network. This is not configurable, connman provides a deliberately simple hotspot, so if you really want the devices on the Network you need to use a device that works as a bridge (not a router).

Yea. This is exactly what I'm experiencing after turning the tethering on. I guess there's no way of turning off that DHCP?

Nope. The tethering feature in ConnMan was designed for (and is the same as) the hotspot feature on a mobile phone. So you can choose SSID/passphrase and whether the tether is active (on/off) but nothing else. NB: I am often working with development devices that only have Ethernet support in a location where the only sensible connectivity is WiFi .. an Ethernet bridge solves the issue. The last one I picked up from eBay was an Apple A1rport express for $12 + postage.
