Windows 10: Having some trouble getting assigned an IP address

Hello To All -

Wanted to make a post since I am having some trouble with my computer that I have not been able to resolve myself. I currently have a custom build PC with an MSI motherboard running Windows 10. Since yesterday, I have not been able to access the internet with it. I Have a direct ethernet connection running to it, going to a managed switch. When the switch port is set to auto negotiation, It will establish a 10/100 link, and I will get an error on my computer staying “Ethernet doesn’t have a valid IP configuration.” When I force the switch port to 1Gbps FDX, the error message changes to “network cable unplugged.” I have tried just about every troubleshooting method I know of and have not been able to find a resolution to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: When I set the switch port to 10Mbps FDX, the connection works.

Thanks to all!

Assigning Static IP Address Range in a Router

yep, pretty much all.

for point #2 if you are having difficulty binding static IP in the router, it is ok to set static IP in the camera instead - just make sure you take a note on which IP is which camera so that you wouldnt put the wrong IP in the port forwarding.

am not sure what you meant. you don't need ddns to access the camera locally (from inside your LAN) *Confused

 

Assigning Static IP Address Range in a Router

Hootoo HT-IP210F HooToo HT-IP210F Indoor 640 x 480 MAX Resolution R... So far, it's awesome. I haven't been able to get audio, not sure why. The web interface is flaky on my Droid, but works and there is a 3rd party Android APP that supports the camera.

So at this point, I need to:

• Set aside a range of static IP addresses (by default in the ASUS, ALL of the IP addresses .2 through .254 are DHCP).
  
• Assign one of the static IP addresses to the camera (in the router)
  
• Assign a port to that IP address

Side note: LAN addresses 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.255 are reserved in just about every router (from what I've been told)

I just wish I could understand how DDNS works locally. *Confused

 

Assigning Static IP Address Range in a Router

My current router, ASUS RT-N66U, has DHCP setup for addresses .1 through .254 (all of them) by default. There's usually a default range for static addresses. Simple question I think... I have some camera hardware that I need to assign static local IP's to, and ports for forwarding. What should I pick for a range?

Also, in the meantime, I've assigned a static IP with a lease for 48 days and assigned a separate port to that, say 98. I type in xx.xx.xx.xx:98 and gets to the camera just fine. xx.xx.xx.xx is the "whatismyIP" address. Is that the right way to do it? And how often does Comcast assign a different outside IP address (the xx.xx.xx.xx part).
