Sign up with GoogleHi there,
Let me come to the place where all the clever persons are.
1. I have a network with 30 pc’s on it, XP Prof in a classroom environment. The Linksys router connects a pre selected group of only 8 pc’s on the network to the internet. Amount of pc’s does not matter, it is only one row pc’s that is part of the network that is dedicated by the teacher for use by the pupils or rather learners to educate them on Internet use.
2. They also use all thirty pc’s at once for a program called “leser is wenners” where by the main pc or server’s ip must be 192.168.0.1 so dynamic addressing is not an option. Unfortunatley this same pc’s is part of the group of 8 that needs be connected to the internet.
3. Now hear my problem: The moment I set the 8 pc’s to dynamic addressing I can connect to the Internet without a hitch. However when I force an ip of 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.8 255.255.255.0, with the correct gateway 192.168.0.99 on the pc’s, I have set the router IP to 192.168.0.99,subnet mask 255.255.255.0., the 8 pc’s refuses to connect to the internet. Just refuses, no search for a dns server or anything just point blank a brick wall. O, by the way all firewalls have been dropped. The moment I switch back to dynamic I can connect to the Internet.
4. Can somebody please tell me why the network is behaving like this? In my ignorance I thought a static address is the same as a dynamic address. What do I miss where?
