I am a little confused. I have set the router to use only 2 - 6 it was
set to 255!
The address 0.2 was initially set by the router and has been that way
until 2 weeks ago when it started messing about.
The computer - in Internet connections was set to get address
dynamically. I thought about changing this to 192.168.0.2 but then
thought that I shouldn't have to do that as it's been that way for 2
years - so what's changed - basically nothing. I upgraded the firmware
just because I thought it might need doing otherwise I would have left
it - if it ain't broke don't fix it - and it wasn't Well????? might be.
I have the address for the computer reserved as 192.168.0.2 and the
firewall rules for the same address so why does it swap addresses? And
how can I fix it. Is it to change from dynamically get to use this?
