RE: Linksys Router (WRT54G) Help! Changing IP addresses!
Another thing you can do with some routers is reserve a particular address from the DHCP pool based on the MAC address. So you would leave your computer on DHCP, but in the router you can assign a particular IP to that computer's NIC MAC. So, say your MAC address is 00-11-22-33-44-55-66and you DHCP pool is 192.168.0.2-192.168.0.50, then you can reserve 192.168.0.20 to 00-11-22-33-44-55-66. I don't know if WRT54G can do that, but my Netgear router does.

Re: Linksys Router (WRT54G) Help! Changing IP addresses!
Hi Kevin, The IP address you gave is the intranet (local Lan) address for one of your computers. You need to make the router static on the intranet side. It is my understanding that you can have both static and DHCP running on the same router but I have not attempted it yet. If you will change the lan to static IP and assign each computer a address it most likely will end your problems. From your message I assume you know how to forward a port in the WRT54G router. This is the same router I am using on my site. I have assumed that you have administrator rites on the Lan and router. If I can be of further help please let me know.

Your LinkSys router should have an option to automatically discover the DNS Server addresses (This is almost a de-facto feature, these days) Assuming that this is so; then you should configure your PC to use the IP address of the router as a DNS Server. Also read the Routers manual about DNS Forwarding as there might be some helpful information there.

Re: Linksys Router (WRT54G) Help! Changing IP addresses!
There are two ways to figure out the DNS information. The router has a Status page that gives the IP addresses for your ISP's DNS servers. Just enter those numbers in when you configure a static IP address. The other way is to use the "ipconfig /all" command in a command prompt. That will also display the IP addresses of the DNS servers. Those numbers don't change often if ever. When configuring your machine to use a static IP you also need to set the gateway IP. That will be the address of your router. That information shows up in the "ipconfig /all" output as well.

What other options are there? Thanks! Kevin Cheng/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Kevin, on the router side, you might be able to tune the maximum time an ip address is affected by the dhcp server. On my router, it is defaulted to 30 minutes, this means when switching on my computer one day after having switched it off, I can't be sure about its next IP address. I have changed that to 15 days, so I'm nearly sure I always have the same address :) However, turning the IP address to static should get a could results. Assuming your router is also a modem, you may be able to do what you want : your router may be able to act as a DNS server, therefore, you can put it as primary DNS. However, if its not capable of doing this, it should give you the DNS ip address it uses when connecting to the internet. Read your router manual for more help on all these. Hope this helps, Regards Yann Renard ___ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
Re: Linksys Router (WRT54G) Help! Changing IP addresses!
Yes, I also have the WRT54G, and it is terrible that the stock firmware does not allow me to "lock" my IP by MAC address. To me, that is basic functionality that is missing from this router. The only way I have gotten it to work is to setup a static IP, and bypass the DHCP altogether. As it turns out, there is some open-source firmware for the WRT54G on sourceforge.net that adds this functionality, but I haven't had the [EMAIL PROTECTED] to try them...

I have a basic understanding of how everything works, but I'm getting tangled up in the port forwarding and DHCP stuff. Here is the main problem: On my server desktop, I am running VNC Server along with DynDNS Updater so I can keep up with the dynamic Comcast High-Speed IP address. Therefore, when I type in xxx.dyndns.org, I should be able to access my computer. Here is the problem however: Sometimes when I restart the desktop with VNC server, the IP address will change (192.168.1.102 to 192.168.1.106). When it switches IPs, 106 does not have port forwarding on and I can no longer access it. Because I am still running testing, I simply open up port 5900 on 192.168.1.106 and the xxx.dyndns.org address will work out fine. Attempting to access it via the actual IP address (192.168.1.106) works fabulously. I just can't seem to figure out how to keep up with the DHCP giving me new IPs. (Keep in mind, the above testing deals with all LAN-side testing.) I have tried setting a static IP, but I don't know the DNS information, so I think that contributed to my loss of Internet. What other options are there? Thanks!
