    Prevent local IP address from changing after logon


    Hi folks
    I've only noticed this recently after ISP upgraded its network. I have a NAS that at logon time gets assigned an IP address via DHCP -- that's fine - I rarely re-boot the server - but since the ISP upgrade the local IP address changes for example from 192.168.1.20 to 192.168.1.27 -- this means that all the Windows clients go Bonkers as they can't see the server. I do get round this by stopping and restarting the samba services (smb(d) and nmb(d).

    However while your external IP address (the one people see on the Public Internet) can change and that's fine why on earth should the local addresses be affected. I really want to get away from using fixed local IP addresses.

    There doesn't seem to be any settings on the router to preserve DHCP assigned addresses either.

    here the local IP has changed to 192.168.1.27 which hoses up windows clients as they can't see it any more until smaba restarted.

    On the Router should I enable this "auto reserve" --I'm not sure what that means.

  2. Finding IP address

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below to find printer’s IP address:

    1. Type Devices and Printers in the Windows search bar.
    2. Select on the printer and click on
      Manage.
    3. Click on the Ports tab.
      You will be able to find printer’s IP address under the ‘Ports’ tab.

    Few printers also have a “Test print” option on the printer. When you print a test page from network printer, the page shows the IP address along with other details.

    Note: If it is set on DHCP mode the IP address will constantly change.
    The IP address is assigned automatically by your router using a protocol called DHCP.

    Hope it helps.

    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 Prevent local IP address from changing after logon :confused:
