photoworks Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 You can click System/Configuration/Configure Your Computer. In there, there should be an option for the LAN connection, where you can change static IP's etc. You don't need to add a connection, since one will already exist. You just need to change it from DHCP to static, and then give an IP. Make sure you change the DHCP range on the router though, as it'll conflict if another machine tries to pick one up you allocated as static. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ok, i will try that tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoworks Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 i have to change the dhcp range in the lan client restriction, am i correct ? the page where those settings appear : lan client restrictions page, here are the settings : ip address : 192.168.2.1 ip address pool : Start IP 192.168.2.2 end IP 192.168.2.40 domain name : work group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Yes, just change the start IP from .2 to .10, this will give you 9 spare then for anything you wish to allocate static IP addresses to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 When you give static, you need to make sure you have DNS servers too, did you allocate these? The easiest way to find out is check your /etc/resolv.conf when you're using DHCP and see what it says. If it lists your router, then make sure your Default Gateway and DNS are set to point to your router. Then you should be able to access the internet without any problems. If not, default gateway is still router, and then just configure the DNS entries a whatever appears in /etc/resolv.conf Internet access normally fails when no DNS servers are selected, even if the Default Gateway is set. Because there's no name resolution. And yes, I just tried the link and can view your page :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoworks Posted September 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 here is what i have on etc/resolve.conf : search WorkGroupnameserver 192.168.2.1 here is the status on my router : Belkin Gateway RouterINTERNET GATEWAY INFORMATION Cable/DSL : CONNECTED WAN IP: 82.17.144.113 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway IP: 82.17.144.254 DNS: 194.168.8.100 Secondary DNS: 194.168.4.100 IP Address: 192.168.2.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 DHCP Server: Enabled NAT: Enabled Firewall: Enabled Connected Clients: 1 Runtime Code Version: V1.20.003 Boot Code Version: V1.00 LAN MAC Address: 00-30-BD-26-97-F7 WAN MAC Address: 00-30-BD-26-97-F8 Hardware Version: R01 Serial Num: 308KM04672 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 OK, when you configure static IP, you can do one of two things. Static IP - 192.168.2.2 (for example) Subnet - 255.255.255.0 Gateway - 192.168.2.1 DNS 192.168.2.1 or these two entries: 194.168.8.100 194.168.4.100 I would recommend that you use the ISP DNS Server entries, rather than your router. The reason I say this is, that your router is acting as a DNS proxy. What this means is that your router receives the DNS query from your machine and then relays it to the ISP's DNS Servers based on it's connection config. Sometimes, this can be delayed, and cause problems. If you use the ISP ones instead, when allocating the static IP, the name resolution happens a lot faster. Then, configure the Virtual server to point to the static IP you set up, check you can browse the internet first though, to make sure all is OK with the IP config, and you should be sorted! :P I suggest you leave search domain blank, and zeroconf blank as well when you configure it all.

photoworks Posted September 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 what if you go on that link, can you still get something ? http://pwks.no-ip.org/fashionbug/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Yep, that link works too, see above post for static IP stuff. Hopefully it'll all work a treat and you'll be sorted!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Just checked again, and link still working. I'm assuming you've gone static IP now, and all is working fine? Keep us informed! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep us informed! :P <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Somehow when i set to static ip, the internet connection does not work. I followed the settings you wrote down but it does not work. any tips ?

ianw1974 Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 That's a little odd. Can you post the results from an ifconfig when using static, and then can have a look at what is happening. Also, post your /etc/resolv.conf when you've allocated static IP too, and we'll see what we can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddmcse Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 when you set the static IP on the PC make sure you enter DNS and GATEWAY in MCC the "setup network ... doesn't ask for the gateway add GATEWAY in the reconfigure network section your gateway is very important at this point once all numbers are good you should be able to ping 192.168.2.1 your Gateway - 192.168.2.1 make sure the IP you choose for this PC is outside the scope/range of IP addresses being handed out by the router .
