Hi

Wondering if I can operate my RTA1320 ADSL router with a DHCP server window say from 192.168.1.30 to 192.168.1.60?

Have static IPs setup from
.1.1 to .1.25
and from
.1.101 to .1.254

At present if a visitor arrives with a laptop I have to assign a static IP on a spare address.
I would prefer it if the visitor could use a DHCP assigned IP address.

Have various computers, servers and printers scattered in blocks.
Also have port forwarding set up for the servers with static IPs.

Will have a look at and play with my options tonight.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Cheers

Gordy

Its available in the router config.

Under advanced DHCP scope (going from memory) you can adjust the profile to a specific range, easy as pie.

This is how large scale businesses often work.

BUT. If you also have a router in there somewhere with DHCP is a different story.

It seems strange you need to assign a manual now, by default DHCP server is enabled. And there is a reserve table you can edit to give PCs the same address each time they request one.

Because I run servers I have assigned static IPs.
Quite a few servers are security cameras which I want accessible from the web.

Not knowing much about networks and port forwarding I assigned everything a static IP.

I have read the you can assign or reserve a static IP under DHCP but apparently you have to use a MAC in the router tables or something.
Have not investigated this throughly.

I thought it may be easier for a visitor to use a DHCP assigned IP by setting up a DHCP window in my router.

Correct.

start-run-cmd

ipconfig /all

Will see the network hardware address such as:

Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-24-E8-04-03-B7

Thats the card MAC. Put that in with :s betweem instead of -, and done.

But poke around DHCP settings, should find you can edit the range as you require at same time

I have set up a DHCP in my router along with all my other static IPs.

Works great.

Wish I had thought about it before.

Thanks for all the help.
