Retired Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Now I need a windoze networking education. ;D How do you set a windoze 2000 box to be DHCP with a fixed ip number? For now I want to hang it on my network for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 What I need to do is IP passthrough.My network is DHCP but on my webserver (mac) I set DHCP with a fixed address. And my FTP sever is set to DHCP with a second fixed address. (so web requests are routed properly) All the other computers are set to DHCP to ease seting up the network. Am I guessing that a windose don't do DHCP with a fixed IP #(to let the web request through to the CT-2)? So to do IP passthrough functions with windows the router needs the mac address to route passthrough? Or does everything have to be fixed addresses?

Dave S Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 As far as I understood DHCP automatically assigns an IP address to a newly added computer on the network, it will choose the next available IP address available. I don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Yes on macs the software can do static DHCP. Pretty cool for fast network setup. If I set static on the PC....Any or both....while my router is DHCP......No box win or mac can see it talk to it or anything. But I don't need to set DNS named while DHCP so maybe adding those will make static work. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave S Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 If you set the win box to DHCP (obtain an IP address automatically and obtain DNS server address automatically) then type ipconfig/all in the command prompt, it will give you all the IP addresses that DHCP has assigned. Enter these addresses into the network settings page, network should work. If it doesn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
