static ip address

dstalte · Apr 13, 2008

I want to set a static ip and it works untill I reboot then local access but not internet.
When I try to switch back I have to power down the motherboard to make it change back. Weird AAH! Its like the nic on the m2n32-sli deluxe never releases its memory untill I shut down the power supply manually.

if the ISP do not give u static IP, then suspect it might be a bit difficult to have one ?

local ip address not the same as net ip..

ok but I am using a router and I always done it before in XP :confused:

got an xp and vista box connected to the router, it is the external ip address which for me is static and not the internal ip address, could have a MAC and linux box as well and they would have slightly different internal ip addresses

what was the ip address previosuly, in the 123.123.123.xxx format - not need to know the specific ip address ?

I think what you were doing is asking the Router to assign a static IP internal address when setting up a firwall on the router. Especially if you have more than 1 pc connected to the router.

The manual that comes with your router should explain all this if your router settings can be done through a web interface

That's the way I understood it
