Hello,
my router's ip address is: 192.168.1.254
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP is enabled with leases from 192.168.1.1-253I was having no problems with my internet connection with IPV4 settings to obtain IP automatically from DHCP, until I tried static ip addresses. I set my IPV4 settings on my adapter to
IP: 192.168.1.101
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.254DNS servers: obtain automatically
After doing this, my internet drops out, but I am still connected to my network, and I can still access my home server. I think the problem might be that I am still telling it to obtain DNS servers automatically when I set static ip address. Is this the problem, and if so, how come this creates a conflict? I am still telling it to receive DNS server ip addresses, just no longer ip address. Any help is greatly aprpeciated. Thank you!
Hi Maddash,
I'm not sure how you managed to set your ip manually without being forced to set the DNS manually too. It doesn't let me do that. Could this be the problem?
I think you also need to make sure your router is looking for a static ip rather than a dynamic one for it to work.
WOW...I am beyond exhausted..I wasn't paying attention, and yes you are right, I cannot select obtain automatically for DNS when setting IP address. I haven't messed around with it in awhile, and didn't notice that. Sorry for the asinine question =(.
