My guess is that the static IP address you assigned is inside the address range of the DHCP server's and therefore something else is getting that IP address first. Static IP addresses should be outside the DHCP server's address range. IOW, if your DHCP server's address range is 192.68.1.10-200, give a static IP of 192.168.1.230. If this guess was wrong, post back with the missing details.

| | Re: DHCP and static IP Thanks for the response. The DHCP server is a ZYXEL ADSL/router P-662H and the PCs are HP dc7800s. All PCs are configured to static IP different from the DHCP range. Static range from 192.168.1.2 - .200; DHCP range from 192.168.1.230 - .246.
