DHCP and Static

We have a WRT55AG wireless router. Connected with a static IP address. Set up to give out DHCP to wireless users and to one desktop machine that is connected to port 1. We have another machine, which we want tio run on a static IP address. Is this possible? Thanks. David Passmore

Their is no settings required on the router side.
If all your other computer are able to go onlinr then this one will to go using a static ipaddr.
The first thing you will do is go to the computer which is able to g online.
Click on start then run then type in cmd and hit enter.
On the cmd prompt type ipconfig/all and hit enter
and check out the ipaddr
if it 192.168.1.100 then on the static computer you will type in 192.168.1.50
in the same manner if it is 192.168.2.100 then on the static computer will be 192.168.2.50 and rest of the entery just copy it all will work grt
Thanks

Combined dhcp and static ip?

I'd like to be able to specify a static ip address and get the remaining stuff (dns, gateway, and whatever) from dhcp. It this possible?

I'm not sure what you want to do. Do you have changing DNS servers and gateways?
If you have control over the DHCP server you could do that by static DHCP (your pc gets the same address every time based on the MAC address). If the DHCP server is running on a router you often don't have this as option (directly).
Other possibility is to get everything from DHCP and then change your IP address manually or with a script.
Changing the ip address afterwards is an idea. I've been with my ISP for a long time and they have changed the addresses of the DNS servers.
Being able to specify just a static network interface address seems like a useful thing to me in a home environment; I want a static address so I can easily ssh to the machine, and the other stuff, DNS, gateway, etc. I can let DHCP set up.
Are you saying that you want to set a static Public IP address on the interface that connects to your home ISP? Like, your ISP changes your public IP address which makes it hard to ssh back home.
If this is the problem you are trying to solve, you would be better off just buying like a .info domain for $2 and setting up Dynamic DNS. I find Hurricane Electric to be a good DNS host. They will let you add Dynamic A records. Then you just set a cron job to update the dns records like every 30min's to be sure it is always correct.
With this promo code from the Linux Action Show you will save 35% off your order of the domain.

54GS ver2 DHCP and static Denon AVR IP

I have a WRT54GS ver2...older model. Some models have DHCP Reservation that allows the same IP to be reestablished with the connected wireless device. This model does not have that....wish it did. I need to get the same IP with my Denon AVR (audo video receiver) each time.
Ok, So my 54GS is setup for DHCP 192.168.1.100 with 7 connections. Only using 5 of these.
If I set an IP in my Denon AVR with a static IP of 192.168.110 (outside the .100 to .106 range) and the Gateway is the IP of the 54GS, Sub, DNS1, 2 as for my TCP/IP connection....then I should be able to connect to the router and dsl modem......I am unable to get the Denon to connect?
The Denon is connected via a wirless bridge..Buffalo Ethernet Converter that uses DHCP to connect to the 54GS. Does that mean I can't use a static IP in the Denon that connects hardwire to the Buffalo?
How to get the Denon to see the router?

The puzzle continues.........
I have the Router Gateway IP set at: 192.168.100.100
The DHCP server in the router is setting: 192.168.100.101-.103
I have the Denon IP set: 192.168.100.121.... will not connect to the Internet...does connect to the network.
I have a DirecTV IP set: 192.168.100.120......connects to the Internet and network.
Why the Denon will not connect to the Internet is the puzzle, especially since the DirecTV is connected via the same bridge and using the same IP setup as the Denon. I tried UPnP on/off...no difference.
The Denon and DirecTV are both connected to a Buffalo Air Station (wireless Ethernet Converter). Same ports, connections as with DHCP in use and working.
The DirecTV IP is set at 192.168.100.120; the Denon 192.168.100.121.
Gateway IP, Subnet Mask, DNS, all set the same in both. All other sources use DHCP in the .101-.103 range.
DirecTV connects to Internet....Denon NO.
Both work when using DHCP via the router just fine. Just wanted a static non-changing IP in the Denon for use with FW updates/issues.
Stumped!

[Solved] Two ethernet ports (dhcp and static)

For various reasons I connect to the internet as follows:
Computer --> eth0 --> Linksys Router --> Aztech Modem/Router --> Internet
From time to time I need to access the Aztech. Usually I change the eth0 cable connecting to the Linksys to the Aztech. And restart networking. Access the Aztech. Then change the cable from Aztech to Linksys. Restart network.
In Debian (to avoid this cable changing), what I did was to also have a cable as follows:
Computer --> eth1 --> Aztech Modem/Router
eth1 is a static configuration. The debian /etc/network/interfaces file looks like
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 10.0.0.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
So in Debian I plug a cable into eth1 (from the Aztech). I can then access the Aztech without it interfering with resolv.conf so I can still browse the internet via eth0.
I have tried the following in ArchLinux:
HOSTNAME="milomak-arch"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
eth1="eth1 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
INTERFACES=(eth1)
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1 10.0.02"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
However when I boot this is what I see
# ifconfig
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:24:8C:52:DC:5F
inet addr:10.0.0.1 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

Put both interfaces in the INTERFACES= array.
/etc/rc.conf includes this detail, with a slightly different wording i.e.
# Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected. Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices. After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected. Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP. Any solutions other than turning it on and off again? Not a Merry Christmas morning.

Ok, so, a couple of things: Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod. Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel. Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem. Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet. Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod.
Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

Non-ISP DDNS with Apple DHCP and DNS Services

I have two questions about Dynamic DNS (DDNS) as it applies to Apple's DNS and DHCP services within my home network. I am not talking about DDNS in the context of making my external-facing router available by a domain name on the Internet using the dynamically-assigned IP from my ISP.
Starting with Snow Leopard Server, I attempted to use Apple's DNS and DHCP services (I have the firmware-based DHCP service in my router turned off.) The difficulty I immediately faced was that Apple's DHCP implementation didn't update the DNS service as IPs were handed out to DHCP clients. Because of this, it wasn't possible to access hosts by their hostname, since getting a DHCP-assigned dynamic IP at boot-up didn't do anything to automagically register the hostname-to-IP mapping in DNS. Manually registering the hostname in DNS was pointless, becuase over time the client IP address can and did change. I could create static IP assignments based on the MAC address, but doing that for all of the devices on my home network sort of defeated the purpose of using dynamic IPs.
The only solution I eventually found was to go out and get an open source DHCP server, compile it for my Mac, install it, and configure it. After doing this, everything worked great; every time a new host or other device was booted it got a dynamic IP through DHCP, and then the DHCP server automatically updated Apple's DNS serive with the hostname and assigned IP. I could immediately access every device on my network by hostname. As IP addresses changed over time, the hostname-to-IP mapping in DNS was automatically updated.
Except, Apple's point upgrades kept breaking my non-Apple DHCP install. Every time I applied software updates to my server I had to go back and re-finagle DHCP to get it to automatically start and run. By the time Lion Server came out, I drank the Kool-Aid and went back to Apple's DHCP implementation. I was disappointed that it still didn't seem able to update DNS with hostnames as it assigned IPs, but I was so tired of mucking about at the command prompt to fix DHCP every time Software Updates broke it, I just lived with the inconvenience of not being able to access devices on my network by hostname.
I'm sorry to say this, but Windows Server has had this capability since at least server 2003. In fact, until I dumped my Windows Server and switched to Snow Leopard Server, I was running Microsoft's DNS and DHCP services on Server 2003 and they did exactly what I'm describing brilliantly.
Can anyone offer any advice here? Does Mountain Lion's implementation of DHCP allow for DDNS updates to the DNS service? If not, how are other people handling this? Should I go back to running Windows Server for my DNS and DHCP services? My Netgear WNDR3700 router appears to have the standard, substandard DHCP server in firmware as most home routers, and no facility for DNS at all--much less the ability to update an on-site DNS sever with IP addresess it hands out. In fact, the only appliance I know of that does this is the InfoBlox my employer uses, but that's too expensive for a home solution.
As a Post Script, I'll add that I've been VERY unhappy that I lost the ability to bind Windows clients to Open Directory under Lion Server. Since I'm starting to see articles that say this capability hasn't been added back to Mountain Lion Server, I'm seriously considering implementing a Windows Server AD master and establishing a "magic triangle" or "golden triangle". If I end up having to do that, I wonder if I might as well just go back to using Microsoft's DNS and DHCP services.

Hi,
Whether to move your DHCP to another server depends on the workload of your server. If there are too many clients on the network, you should move your DHCP to another server.
Did the record which owned by the machine generate before you configure the DnsUpdateProxy group? You can try to regenerate the record and check the result.
For more detailed information, you can view the link below.

HH4 and static IP addresses on home network

I want to assign a static IP outside the DHCP range to a server on my home network. I know I've done this in the past as I already have another server on the network which the HH4 recognises as having a static IP (and not in the DHCP range) but I can't for the life of me remember how to do it now.
I do recall that it wasn't obvious last time, but I've looked repeatedly through the HH config options and can't find it. The only place that looks likely is the Device Information page, where if "IP address assignment" is DHCP then you can select "Always use this IP address" and type an IP address, but only addresses within the DHCP range are accepted (this is reasonable). But there seems no way to provide a non-DHCP address.
I've read elsewhere that I should allocate the static IP on the device itself, but this doesn't work - while the device is able to connect to the LAN and can ping/can be pinged by other devices, the HH doesn't recognise the device and it's unable to connect to the internet.
I've constantly been frustrated by the non-standard interface of the HH4, and the fact that BT will provide little information on how to configure it (no manual is available). I called BT just hours ago to ask their tech support the same question I'm asking here, and their response was that "they don't have that information". When I said I was amazed that they don't know how to support their own hardware, they replied that it came ready configured and I shouldn't need to change it. Unbelievable. I was invited to subscribe to their tech expert support for £8 per month to get the answer, so I suspect that the claimed ignorance is just a revenue-earning opportunity.
Anyhow, any help will be very welcome.
Solved!

Hmm, as far as I'm concerned the only 'true' static address is one configured on the device itself. Anything else is a non-changing dynamic address which is still at the mercy of the router dishing it out correctly.
That's a fair point. Perhaps I'm not used to routers (or just never used the feature) that allow "sticky" allocations within the DHCP range. So I see (saw?) DHCP and non-DHCP addresses as different.
However, I have to admit to feel a bit stupid at this point. I've just looked at the HH display and now I can see my device in all its static glory! This is after a number of days of testing and experimentation and getting nowhere (and before you ask, yes, regular refreshing). It's puzzling - perhaps it takes time for the HH to pick up a static allocation and I just didn't give it long enough.
So it does appear to be working now. I can confirm that your advice of just defining the address on the device is the way to go, and eventually the HH will recognise it.
Thanks to all for your patience!

How to set up DHCP and NAT for QNAP NAS MyCloud service?

I have an Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) attached to my DSL model (no router in the modem). My QNAP NAS is attached via ethernet to the QNAP NAS. My iMac (running AirPort Utility 6.x) is connected to the AEBS via wifi.
I've found several folks who've tried this (and apparently succeeded) but I'm a networking novice and am having trouble making this work. What I did was to go into the AirPort utility and in the networking section configure "DHCP and NAT" and then called out the static IP and MAC address of the QNAP NAS (as well as the ports I'd like to remain open). However, when I did this and applied the changes, my iMac (connected to the AEBS via wifi) could no longer see the AEBS, which then required me to reset the AEBS, re-configure it back to the previous known good conifiguration and start over. After about 5 cycles of this I gave up.
So, what am I doing wrong here? Do I need to go in and configure every device that is going to access the AEBS as static and call out each device's IP and MAC address? (hopefully not, that'd be a major PITA).
Help. Anyone?

But now I can't use jumpstart install in solaris 10 u5 without setting up a static ip address in sysidcfg.
I have many x86 machines.

I think that you should modify the script discovery-install, so you'll be able to create the sysidcfg file dynamically. I had the same problem as you and there is a possibility to add some arguments to the boot command that you execute at the ok prompt. These arguments can be defined in the discovery-install script. It's quite easy.

Dhcp and nis

I have Solaris 10 installed on an x-86 box with 2 nics installed.
I am trying to configure one nic to use dhcp and access the internet as well as on the 2nd nic have an nis network that has a static ip range that will be a master to 3 other clients. Is this possible? I've been able to configure the primary nic with dhcp to go out to the net, but wasn't very successful with NIS on nic 2. Seeking advice on this.
Thanks

Is this still an issue?

DHCP and LDAP at Login... possible?

Hi..
All my users use network homes and are working fine via static IPs and manual LDAP settings. (So why fix it, right?)
I want to try moving my clients to DHCP to simplify setups. I enabled DHCP and configured the options for IPs as well as the LDAP settings. On the clients I set to DHCP in network settings, and Auto assign DHCP LDAP in Directory Access.
Problem is, when clients boot up, they dont seem to get their DHCP assignment until after a user logs in, which prevents them from reading the LDAP unless a local user logs in to register DHCP.
Is there a way to force the client to register DHCP at the login window, rather than after logging in a [local] user?
Or am I misdiagnosing the problem?

Hi,
supplying LDAP information via DHCP works. The only issue is that it will take a while (up to 10 seconds or even longer) until a network user can login. So patience is the key!
Try this: in the loginwindow, click several times on the Bonjourname of you client. The displayed infomation (SN, ip address, etc) will change. There is a new info displayed about availability of network-accounts. It's bullet should be red right after loginwindow is launched, but turn green after a while if you use DHCP.
If it stays red, you have another issue, probably related to DHCP and the provided LDAP-info.

Setting up DNS on Xserve when DHCP and Nat ae controlled by windows machine

Trying to set up an Intel based Xserve on an internal network to have 6 other G5's authenticate to. But I am having problems setting up DNS.
This server is being added to a windows network that has DHCP and NAT handled by a different windows machine. I have also assigned the xserve with a static IP address of 192.168.1.XXX Now this server is just going to run a few programs for the 6 macs in the art department. Software Update, Version Cue, Suitcase Server. I have version cue and suitcase server up and running. But I would also like to have the macs authenticate to the server for the updates.
If I type in hostname at terminal I get:
localhost.xserve
and when I type in host 192.168.1.XXX
I get some error about no name aviable or something...
How can I setup simple dns just for the server? Would there be any down falls for having DNS setup on this machine when it is conected to a windowws network?
Please help. Sorry for the long winded explination.

Yes, it's possible. Although I'm no longer favorable towards fake "domains" like .lan or the like.
Besides which (and most people don't know) ".lan" is actually an existant TLD. So it's not so great either.
Set the server to what it's FQDN should be, and set it to answer to & for itself only.
Is everything else internally using ".lan" ? If not you're going to have to point clients to your server strictly by IP alone and while that's fine, this setup is starting to sound just ugly, if not somewhat Frankenstein-ian
But to limit requests you'll have to edit /etc/named.conf by hand.
Google can lead you to the information, there's plenty out there - here's one for example:

Dhcp and pcmcia NIC startup (SOLVED)

Hello;
I'm pretty impressed with Arch up to now, but am having a problem with the pcmcia NIC. I'm sure it's some simple config problem, but I haven't been able to figure it out.
I'm using a Network Everywhere NP100, which uses the axnet driver. No problems there. I have it set as eth0="dhcp".
It works fine, but when I restart the box, or start up from a cold start, dhcp isn't assigning an IP, and during boot, network fails on start. After the box is up and running, I have to remove the card from the slot and reinsert it to get dhcp to assign an IP.
I haven't seen this problem with other distros, so I know it can be fixed, not not sure how. Below is my rc.conf, maybe somebody can spot something I'm missing?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

# When you boot the machine the first time it is just fine?
No it has this problem every time the machine is started.
# Do you really have to remove the card from the slot, isn't 'cardctl eject' enough?
Removing and reinserting the card is faster than typing out a command so that's what I do.
# Does it work with static IP?
Don't know, router is set up as DHCP and haven't tried changing it to static. As it's a mobile machine, I'd prefer it works using dhcp.
# Does your machine own another nic, so the race who will become eth0 could be won by an ethernet card?
No, I just have the one NIC at the moment. I have a wireless pcmcia NIC as well, but haven't installed/configured it yet as I don't use it much and would like to solve this ethernet problem first.
#By the way, which kernel modules own the axnet drivers?I can't see any matching module in rc.conf's modules section, and you have hotplug disabled.
It's owned by pcmcia, which loads the module itself when the card is detected. This is working perfectly and the driver modules loads no problem. As far as I can tell the problem seems to be with the network daemon itself, but I could be mistaken about this.
I disabled hotplug for the moment while I try to figure this out. At first I thought hotplug was the culprit but even with it disabled the problem remains. I just haven't bothered to re-enable hotplug as I already have all the modules loading through rc.conf anyway and it speeds up booting.
Hope the additional info may help figure this out. I'm stumped.

Problems setting up Verizon DSL (DHCP) and AirPort Extreme

I have Verizon DSL with DHCP and old router (Linksys WRT54G). I've bought iMac and new router (AirPort Extreme) to connect to iMac wirelessly. I have a Windows computer connected to the Linksys WRT54G. Now here is the story. I can connect verizon DSL modem (it's in bridge mode) to PC directly and connect to the Internet. When I plug AirPort between the DSL modem and PC, auto-configuration doesn't work, AirPort utility says there is problem with internet connection. Router simply can't obtain IP address from verizon's DHCP server. I've tried to copy DNS server addressed from the IP configuration in Windows, the AirPort light went green and Windows indicated connection as successful, however I still cound't browse the Internet because gateway is not set. Any ideas how to make AirPort connect to the internet using DHCP instead of manual settings? I can try to do it from the mac if needed, I don't think it would make any difference though.

Welcome to the discussions!
Sorry, I can't quite track exactly what you are trying to do.
What would the network that you are trying to set up look like?
Modem>AirPort Extreme>Computers? Are you saying that you won't be using the Linksys in the new setup?
Sounds like you need to set the Airport Extreme up to supply PPPoE service (which the Linksys is doing now-if the modem is in bridge mode), but I will wait for your response before offering specific info.
If you've been fiddling with settings, we may need to do a hard-reset on the AX to start over. You should not be fiddling with DNS, etc. Almost always, these settings are done automatically when you have the device set up correctly.
