Hi,

Got a new router / VDSL.

I can't get it to allocate IP addresses, works if I use a static. And it assigns static via mac addresses on the router.

I would appreciate any help.

Here is an image of my settings:

Oddball: Thank you, that fixed it :)

Well then, in my opinion you've found a firmware bug then.  255.255.255.0 is a perfectly valid network subnet mask for an IP address range starting with 10.x.x.x; all it means is that you are constraining the network range to that "subnet", so in the case of 10.1.1.x/255.255.255.0, anything from 10.1.1.1 to 10.1.1.254 is a valid IP, 10.1.1.0 is the network address, and 10.1.1.255 is the broadcast address; 10.1.2.y (for example) is outside the network and needs to be routed to, rather than being on the same "LAN segment".

That's kinda networking 101, and I'm a little surprised the router got it wrong.
