I hope when you got it working that you realised that you don't have to do this. You just leave everything on automatic on the clients, and if your DHCP static assignments are set up, then they should just work.

Followed as per page 42-3 in the manual but am getting inconsistent results as I look to see what pc is assigned what ip. And oft the pc I am using to set up there doesn't appear at all on any of the pages but seems to get a dynamic ip even tho both mac address and ip are specified as I enter them. This seems weird behaviour to me. It just struck me as I was rereading your reply. I saw the word "reservations" there and the reserve option next to dynamic addresses when they show. So when each of the pc's came up with a dynamic ip instead of static I checked the reserve option and saved and rebooted the modem. Now I finally have a static ip for each of them. Now it's time to try and get the port forwarding working my end Thx again so far James -- If you know that fundamentally there is nothing to seek, you have settled your affairs Rinzai -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

I understand that much and am in the process of going thru that using ifconfig to get the mac address of each of my systems. i'd assume to use the wlan0 mac address for those connected wirelessly and the eth0 one for the cable connected? I would also assume to mirror these static ip's in the network settings applet under the appropriate connection type?

Then you can leave all the PCs as they are and just change the modem configuration to set their IPs. In the G604T manual i have, page 42 shows the Home -> DHCP screen with a few slots for static assignments. Put in your computer's MAC address along with the desired IP address, and save the config. Then try unplugging and plugging in your LAN cable again and it should get the static IP you've selected.
