Static & DHCP Addresses

I have an AIrport Express network where every machine (2 Macbook Pro's, 1 Mac Pro) is connecting via DHCP. However, I would like the Mac Pro to set its IP address manually. I've tried the following and nothing has worked:
In Airport Utility:
Set DHCP range to 10.0.1.3 - 10.0.1.200
On Mac Pro:
Set IP to : Using DHCP with Manual Address
Set IP to: 10.0.1.2
In Airport Utility:
Set DHCP range to 10.0.1.3 - 10.0.1.200
On Mac Pro:
Set IP to : Manual Address
Set IP to: 10.0.1.2
In each case the default router was set to 10.0.1.1. I'm connected to the Airport with a green light and have the IP address. I can still connect to the Airport Express via the Airport Utility. I just can't get out to the internet.
In the DHCP help section for Airpot Utility, there is a section that says "To provide a specific IP adress to specific computers... click Add below the DHCP Reservation list and following the onscreen..."
However, that option is not in the Airport Utility. I only have the option of setting the DHCP Range, Beginning Address, Ending Address, and Lease Length. This is in 10.5.2.
How can I do what I'm trying to do?

You want to use an IP address outside the range used by the DHCP server on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). So you want to use something in the range 10.0.1.201 to 10.0.1.254.
On the Mac Pro, set it to get an IP address manually. Set the other fields like this:
IP address: 10.0.1.201
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 10.0.1.1
DNS: 10.0.1.1
In the DHCP help section for Airpot Utility, there is a section that says "To provide a specific IP adress to specific
That is possible with the 802.11b/g/n AEBS but I do NOT think it is a feature of the AirPort Express (AX).

M93p AMT not recognizing DHCP or static IPv4 address

Hello,
We recently bought 3 M93p 10AB0010US systems for a pilot, with the potential to buy 350. One of our requirements is functioning Intel AMT. We are currently using M92p systems with Intel AMT v8.x with no issues.
The M93p uses Intel AMT v9. When configured to use DHCP and share the FQDN with the host, Intel AMT communicates with the Intel Management and Security Application Local Management Service to identify the DHCP IP address and configure AMT with it.
This is where the problem seems to be. According to the status applet within Windows, the Link Status is "Link Up", the MAC address listed is correct, the IPv4 Mode is "DHCP", but the IP address listed is 0.0.0.0. On the local system, I can bring up the web UI for AMT and access (guessing it is using the loopback adapter?), but it is not accessible remotely because AMT is not intercepting the 16992 traffic targeting the DHCP address.
Initial, unsecure configuration is being done using a USB key configured with Intel SCS 8.2. It is the same config we used for AMT v8 devices, and seemingly works as the web UI is accessible, just not remotely due to the DHCP issue.
Any ideas? This obstacle is potentially preventing us from doing a pretty big hardware upgrade until we can resolve it.

Hallo, wir haben genau das selbe Problem. 2 Systeme M93p gleiche Problematik. Und es scheint System zu haben das Lenovo sich dieser sache nicht annehmen will. Wir haben aktiv einen Fall offen mit der Fallnummer: 012R512
Laut der Meinung des Vorgesetzten kann das Teil nicht unter Garantie getauscht werden da es nicht defekt ist.
Ausserdem ist AMT ein Intel-produkt, die Version die wir hier haben ist so gebaut nur mit unseren Treiber automatisch zu funktionieren. Wenn sie dieses ändern oder
speziell anfertigen möchten, wäre es vielleicht mehr sinnvoll mit Intel kontakt aufzunehmen. Wir unterstützen dieses nicht.
Und Kennwörter die nicht erkannt werden sind unter keinen umständen von Lenovo unterstützt, unabhängig der Art.
Danke für ihr Verständnis.

Can I assign Airport Express to static IP Address?

Current setup - Airport Extreme attached to cable modem with 2 hard drives, Airport Express as print server in separate room with USB printer attached (just changed from Linksys with sometimes working NetGear print server). Clients accessing the network: 2 Windows XP, 1 Windows 7, iPads, iPhones, iPods, Apple TV, and sometimes a Mac Book.
The issue is that we don't keep the printing system on at all times (light switch with Express and printer plugged in); We dont't do much printing, and I print to pdf most of the time. As a result, the Express IP address changes every time it's turned on, requiring me to change the port settings on the printer properties before anyone can print. Is there a way to assign a static IP address to the Express so that I don't become tech support every time someone else in the house needs to print something?

Is there a way to assign a static IP address to the Express so that I don't become tech support every time someone else in the house needs to print something?
Yes. The first order of business is to find the AirPort ID for the AirPort Express. You do this by opening AirPort Utility and clicking once on the Express. In the area to the right, jot down the AirPort ID.
Still in AirPort Utility, now click on the AirPort Extreme and click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Click the DHCP tab below the Advanced icon
Look for the DHCP Reservations area and click on the + (plus) button at the bottom
Enter a description, for example AirPort Express
Click the MAC Address button and click Continue
Enter the AirPort ID in the MAC Address box
Assign the IP address you want the Express to use, for example 10.0.1.20
Click Done, then click Apply and the AirPort Extreme will restart
It would be a good idea to power cycle the entire network as follows:
Power everything down...all devices, order is not important
Power up the modem first, then AirPort Extreme, then Express, then devices

How to Configure a Blackfin Static IP Address

I've read that the Blackfin lwip stack wants a DHCP server to assign it an IPaddress. I've proven that this works for me using a BF537 EZ-Kit.
Now I'd like to configure an application with a static IP address so I can use a crossover cable between a computer and the EZKIT.
I've seen a method to do this in the LWIP User Guide but this seems to apply only to projects built using Visual DSP. Is there a method to set a static IP address from LabVIEW Embedded? The LV "build specifications" properties dialog seems to indicate as such but it doesn't seem to work when I try it. If I disable DHCP my application doesn't work at all.

Try these steps:
1) Disconnect your computer from your network.
2) Connect the crossover cable between your computer and the Blackfin EZ-Kit.
3) Assign a static IP address to your computer. If you don't know how to do this, follow the directions at the following Microsoft Website:
https://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/sag_tcpip_pro_manual...
If you don't know what numbers to fill in while following the directions, use the following settings for your computer.
IP Address: 10.0.0.1
Net Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.0.0.254
4) Start LabVIEW and open your project.
5) Configure LWIP to a static IP address. To do this, open the Build Spec dialog in LabVIEW and click on the TCP/IP tab. Enable lwIP and uncheck Use DHCP. Fill in a IP address.
If your computer is setup with the above settings, the following Build Spec Options can be used for LWIP:
IP Address: 10.0.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.0.0.254

Set Static IP address on Mac clients

Hi,
I'm trying to change the IP address on a mac client at startup time to a different value and to be Static type. I need to do it via the command line. I've researched and found out that 'networksetup -setmanual ...' and 'ipconfig set en0 MANUAL ...' would do it, but the 'networksetup' command is not available unless I have ARD installed and 'ipconfig' is not recommended for use other than testing and debug.
Another option I was looking at is editing /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist and then doing 'changeip ...' command.
Do you know if there are any other commands that will allow me to change an ip address via the command line, set it to Static/Manual and preferably do it without a reboot?
Thank you

Hi Sergey,
when I use static IP in my jwc_properties.ini it is never picked up, it still uses DHCP. The part where I have configured IP looks like this:
# Whether static configuration or DHCP server is used do get IP address. Possible values: dhcp,static
ip.method = static
# IP address,used with static IP configuration only
ip.addr = 10.143.144.97
# Network mask,used with static IP configuration only
ip.netmask = 255.255.252.0
# Network gateway,used with static IP configuration only
ip.gateway = 10.143.144.1
# DNS server,used with static IP configuration only
ip.dns =
# MAC address
mac.addr =

Mac mini server refuses to get DHCP address from router

Everything was going along fine. But after a power outage the server goes to a 169. address when the router puts out 198. addresses. If I put a static 198. address in it sees the network but won't connect to the internet. I've flashed the router (everything else sees the router fine, 3 computers and a time capsule). I've had the hardware checked at the Apple store - it picked up an address right away. After narrowing everything down the problem has to be in the operating system. I even did a full time machine restore to the day before the storm. No luck. Anyone heard of this problem.

Mauricette has a point.
A server function is not designed to accept a floating or dynamic IP address. If that is the case, how do you create firewall rules that prevent those unnnecessary ports being left opened from being attacked by rogue machines in Romania and China on a hourly basis when you announce to the world that your server is available if the server IP address keep changing due to the DHCP lease change? Yes, they do have bots that do this VERY EFFICIENTLY!
By changing the very nature of your firewall rules by working with DHCP, you are opening ports you do not know to accommodate DHCP dynamic addressing, which was the reason why your Mac Mini Server stopped working in the first place. It's ok for a client, since a client isn't serving any files to any one right.
By using client based firewall rules, you are exposing your server to attacks and when they get through your Mini server, which they can if they are persistent, they get into your home network and then whatever file server services you have opened and unprotected at the time WILL BE copied by these people easily.
I have a client once who did just that. She was attacked, the hacker went through her network like a rampaging bull. They were from China. My Synology RAID server gets this attack all the time, but I have a well establish IDS system and the Synology RAID has logs that tracks attacks.
For a server setup. Use static IP and then build a strong firewall around it and protect it and never compromise.
Recently, I just noticed someone somehow hacked and broke my WPA-PSK AES passkey for one of my Wireless N network router. It was not set up with a strong password though, but thankgod I had a firewall around that so my internal networks were safe. So this teaches you that if someone wants in bad, they will get in.
Hope this helps.

Lion Server not handing out DHCP addresses to Snow Leopard client

I have been pulling my hair out over this.
Here is the layout
Lion Server running on the newest Mac Mini and doing mail, DNS, DHCP, Software update and has a valid, not self assigned, certificate
3 clients running Lion Desktop (2 iMACs and a MBP pro (all no more that a year old and all woth the current updates)
1 client running Snow Leopard Desktop (last years 13 inch MBA)
The 3 Lion clients can get dhcp fro mthe Lion server without any issue
The SL client cannot get a DHCP address from the Lion server
A tcpdump shows the DHCP request coming from the MAC address of the SL client but no response from the Lion Server and nothing showing a deny in the logs for the DHCP server or any other system/kernel logs. The Lion clients all show the request and reply for them. All 4 clients currently have a static assignment in DHCP but even if I remove them all and do auto-assign for everything or even each one individually, the SL client will not get an address both on the Wifi and Ethernet (I have the USB ethernet adapter).
I also have an Aiport Extreme and if I use that for the DHCP server then all clients get the addresses. I know the DHCP server in the extreme cannot be shut down but if you give the extreme a static address then assign dhcp on the extreme to only give out one address and that is the same one that is statically assigned then it "thinks" it is out of addresses and no longer tries to assign addresses
At first I thought there was a conflict between the extreme and the Lion server but as I mentioned above, tcpdump clearly shows the requests going right to the Lion server
I'm usually pretty good at this kind of thing but this one has me stumped. I'm thinking bug, anyone else run into this yet?

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 do I assign a static IP address?

I bought mSecure from mSeven Software for my iPhone. Had no problem assigning a static IP address to my old PC laptop, but now I've happily switched to Macbook Pro and I can't figure out how to get it done. Need this static IP address to sync my iPhone data to the Macbook Pro. Found something that said I needed to go to "server admin" but I can't figure that out either. I do see how to find my IP address (in system preferences), but I'm not sure how to assign a static address. I'm not the most computer literate person in the world, but I'm fairly teachable - can somebody walk me through this step by step (including what buttons to push to get where you guide me)? Much obliged.

Oh great, forum notifications have grown funky again.
As I understand your question, each client (whether it's a router or not) can be configured to receive its IP address via DHCP, or not. In the latter case you specify its IP address manually in the client. I can't think of a TCP/IP client that does not have this ability.
There is no way to use AirPort Utility to assign specified IP addresses to clients, though you can "reserve" a block of addresses that it will not assign via DHCP.
You can assign an IP address to a client using a directed IP packet, using Terminal (must be run as superuser):
arp -s <desired IP address> <client MAC address>
... but this does not create any entries in the AirPort's MAC address table. Is that what you want to do?

DNS and Static IP Address Question on Solaris v10 X86

I�ve recently installed Solaris v10 X86 and have two questions. The system is a Dell E521 with 4GB RAM and 1GB SysKonnect NIC, and internet is provided via a cable modem, that�s plugged into a Netgear router, and the Solaris 10 box is plugged into the Netgear router via a CAT5 ethernet cable.
1. I can connect to my router login page using the following URL:
http://192.168.1.1/start.htm and I can also connect to various web pages such as yahoo, if I first "ping yahoo.com" (on another machine that�s internet enabled) and then plug the web site�s ip address into the Solaris/Mozilla browser. So it appears that I haven�t been successful at pointing the Solaris x86 at a DNS server to resolve the DNS name.
2. I've purchased a commercially available software package and it requires a static ip address for this Solaris x86 server. If the ip address changes, it�ll stop working by design and require that I reacquire the license file. When connecting through this Netgear router, how do I lock this Solaris v10 x86 server into a specific ip address? (the ip address floats presently when cycling my PC�s on/off) presently, and assume the Solaris box will too, usually through an ip range of 192.168.1.<1 through 5>

The NIC is a SysKonnect 9821 1GB Ethernet card. The drivers in Solaris 10 were apparently very old and didn't install drivers or configure/plumb when I installed Solaris 10, so I downloaded the
latest drivers (hard to find!), followed the instructions and got the NIC drivers installed and then plumbed.
My router's ip address appears to be 192.168.1.1 and in one of the articles I've read, there is a recommendation to create a file (touch) within /etc named defaultrouter and enter the router's ip address. I did this, and the file now contains:
192.168.1.1
I also read where another file called resolv.conf needed to be pointed to a DNS server, which in this case, according to my Netgear router, and according to ipconfig/all on another WinBox on the same network, also shows the same 192.168.1.1 address for the DNS, so I created that file too (wasn't there) and it contains:
nameserver 192.168.1.1
There is a host name file called hostname.skge0 and it contains one line:
INTHOST
There is a hosts file, and it contains:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost homex86
192.168.1.3 INTHOST
There is a netmasks file, and other than the commented out lines, it appears to contain one relevant line:
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
There is a nsswitch.conf file and other than the commented out lines, it contains:

Finally, I've also seen some advice using the folling command (and I tried it):
"route add default 192.168.1.1" as an alternative method of setting up route table
The only other command I've tried is:
"ifconfig skge0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up" but I suspect that was redundant as the plumb command I used to get the NIC functioning earlier probably already provided what was needed.
Finally, on this small network, I ran an ipconfig/all on a Windows based PC, to see what network settings were reported through the wireless connection, and this is an excerpt of that information:

Hyper-V Gen 2 Windows Server 2012 R2 VM cannot define static IP address

Hi,
I have setup a physical server with Windows Server 2012 R2. It has only the Hyper-V role installed. The physical server has two NICs that I have teamed with Hyper-V port as the load balancer. I have created 1 VM on this Hyper-V server that is a
Generation 2 VM running Windows Server 2012 R2. It has one NIC in the guest OS that is connected to the Hyper-V switch.
Now the Guest OS works fine and network connectivity is great when using DHCP but when I configure a static IP address in the Guest OS all network connectivity is lost even with correct IP configuration. Is this something to do with a Gen 2 VM?
A little more background - We have another Hyper-V server running Windows Server 2012 R2 with the same NIC teaming in the Host OS, on this Hyper-V there is a GEN 1 Windows Server 2012 R2 that has a static IP configured which is working normally.
Any help is appreciated.

I have resolved the issue. It appeared the hard IP phones were using the same IP range that I was attempting to use so of course the VM could not use the IP Address. Silly mistake.
Elliot, I suggest you mark as Helpful and Answer any responses above that were helpful to you in getting this issue resolved. This is how the forums work.
For example, if a response mentioned "VM generation has no effect on the vNIC." and that pointed you in the direction of troubleshooting networking instead of wasting your time looking into VM generations, that may be considered "Helpful"
If a response mentioned "Make sure you're using valid IPv4 settings" and indeed you ended up having invalid IP settings such as a duplicate IP, this may be considered "Answer"

DNS Zone, ADDS, and then when at DCPROMO said that the IP address was not Static?

The last attempt I made I used the preferred Ip address listed in the config output:

This passed the automatic check when I closed the properties window after specifying the above and allowed me to install DNS, ADDS, but stopped half way through the DCPROMO wizard saying that the IP was not static.
This did not lose internet connection through out the procedure.
I have not tried disabling the second, connection

Not Able To Assign A Static IP Address To Windows 2008 64 bit Server

Hello Experts,
I've been trying to assign a static IP address to Windows 2008 R2 Server Virtual Box image. As soon as I assign static IP address to the image, either it hangs or says "Unidentified network".
I'm 100% sure that I'm using correct IP address, Gateway, Subnet mask and DNS Server details. If I use same settings on other linux virtual box, it is able get that static ip address. The issue is only with Windows 2008 image.
Here few more inputs that may help:
- Windows 2008 image has "Bridge" adapter.
- Host system is connected to corporate network via wired connection and NOT on VPN.
- If I use "Obtain IP address automatically" setting, then it is able to get a dynamic IP address and internet is working fine.
Questions:
1. Has anyone seen this issue before ?
2. Do I need to do any additional configuration on Windows 2008 server ?
Thanks,
GK

Hi,
Method 1: Uninstall and reinstall network drivers.
Method 2: If you have any anti-virus software, disable them.
You can also try set a static IP via neetsh commend.

TC Port Forwarding Static IP Address

I have a domain for which I've pointed the DNS to my static IP address.
My network flow is as follows: Internet --> Westell DSL Modem (AT&T) --> TC.
I'd like TC to forward port 80 requests to a Mac Mini. On the Mini Web sharing is enabled. From any machine on my network I can hit the internal address of the Mini and I get the default Apache page.
Using the AirPort Utility (TC) I've enabled Port Mapping --> Personal Web Sharing. The Private IP Address is the IP Address of the Mini. Public TCP Port = 80. Private TCP Port = 80.
Now, where "I think" the problem lies in the TC Internet Connection. When IPv4 uses DHCP, TC gets a 192.168.1.* IP address AND a 192.168.1.* Router Address (the addresses are different).
When I set Ipv4 "manually" I don't know what to put in the Router Address. TC is still the router but what address do I use now??? If I use the static IP for both IP & Router address I get no internet connection.
Thanks in advance!

I gathered from this thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9114081&#9114081) that the Router Address is synonymous with Gateway Address.
After speaking with my ISP my static IP and gateway addresses don't start with the same octet. So the Airport Utility complains about them not being compatible.
I wouldn't think of using all ZEROs in the subnet mask.
Any ideas?
