Re: Network with DHCP



To add even more confusion to his thread....

We will be dropping the DSL connection in favor
of a high speed fiber link that is being installed
as we speak.

I assume that will change the entire thing.

My ongoing problem with static address changing has been

Any pc configured with Access and a static address gets
wacked, when you attempt to open a web connection.

It would appear that the DSL router installed is providing
all the addressing for anybody who attempts to connect.

This all happens with the ISP DHCP service I suppose.
I'm not much on routers but some research seems to prove
this out.

The question of the day....

What, if anything can I do about this ???


In the version of windows & IE I have there is a setting in IE options
for connections. Under Lan settings I think if you allow automatic
detection then your static entry may be overwritten. Alternativenly
there may be a setup in the DHCP server in your router to either use a
specific range of ip addresses, which would allow your pcs & 400 to be
in the same range, or maybe to associate given cards with fixed ip
addresses, so they always get the same number. This last option would
requier additional work for every pc on your network.
