Static IP w/ linksys wireless-B router :( HELP!
Hey guys I know this must be a stupid question for most. but I have tried tons of options in this Linksys Wireless-B router and I can not get it to let me do static ip's for my computers. does anyone have a link to a page or something that can give me step for step instructions on how to setup my machine's for static ip and internet access thru this router?

Not knowing exactly which model you have I will tell you how mine is set. You don't actually setup anything in the router for static client IP's. You can set a range for DHCP assigned IP's. Now if I'm not mistaken (and I'm usually not) anything outside of the range you set for DHCP is fair game for static use (at least thats how mine is working). This includes IP's above and below the static range. If you disable DHCP the the entire range of IP's will be available for static use. As for setting up your machines (not knowing what OS you are using) do a google. Last edited by wrzwaldo : 05-07-2004 at 09:15 AM. |

The other possibility is that he means his external IP from his ISP. In other words, he has a static IP and wants to use that as the external IP address as opposed to having his Linksys AP/Router contact an ISP DHCP server. If this is what you are referring to, please post your hardware, it is very easy to do.

Do you have a valid IP/Subnet/Gateway/DNS on the WAN side of the router (status page)? Is your WAN DHCP or Static? If DHCP try a release/renew. Also have you attempted any pings out to the net? IP & domain name? Try hitting MS.com as http://207.46.245.156 How are you posting to these forums? Last edited by wrzwaldo : 05-07-2004 at 09:25 AM. |

I've got a linksys BFSR41, it lets my computers have static IP ranges within it's allocated DHCP range.
As for your problem... It could be a number of things. It might not have anything to do withy your static IP. I had a similar problem the other day and traced it to a DNS fault with my ISP. My house mate also suffered the same fate when he removed ZoneAlarm from his startup using Msconfig. It messed up his DNS requests and he had to uninstall it completly. Sorry if this doesn't help too much, but, you need to help us first. Your symprons could be caused by one of many things: You need to eloquently describe the problem. Then, you need to acquire some basic networking knowledge; this is freely available on tinternet.

cefw11s4 v4. newest firmware than came out in jan 2004.
my isp is the local cable internet isp. cox.net . The router can get online, and I can access the internet thru it when I use DHCP. it is just when I set the router to turn DHCP off, and set the PC to set ip manually, THEN i cannot get online. cannot ping, or anything. I had to set my pc back to automatically get ip addr, and set the DHCP server on the router back on, to get onto this forum to post. |

This is what I'd do first: Try limiting the range of addresses aloocated by DCHP (ie 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.120) and then assign yourself 192.168.1.121.

You are correct. But that opens a whole new can of worms as far as the same IP assigned to two different machines. |

It's not like a big company or anything like that. My housemates all have laptops, I've got a only slightly wider range of stuff: It's all easy to keep a grip on.
