I've set up a DHCP reservation on a Netgear wpn824v3 router, using its "Attached Devices" list to specify the MAC address of a computer on the network to use IP 192.168.5.200. After using "ipconfig /release" then "ipconfig /renew" on the client PC, though, the client PC keeps going back to the address it got automatically, i.e., 192.168.5.3. How can I force the client to use 192.168.5.200?
Why would you do release & renew after you set the reservation? How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.
