Hi all,
I am about to pull my hair out!, I am trying to assign a static ip to my Desktop (server) PC connected to my Engenius ESR9850 router.
I went to router's admin page and assigned 192.168.1.2 to my server's ethernet MAC address. Clicked on Apply and that rebooted the router.
I then rebooted the server PC and when it came back up, it does not obtain the 192.168.1.2 IP address. It doesn't even get the default gateway, it is blank!
What am I doing wrong?
I don't want to set the static ip on the server itself, would rather do it on the router since the router supports it. There is a switch in between the router and the server. I don't think that should matter?
Thanks in advance,
Ketan
Oh and my router's DHCP range is 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200 and the router address (gateway) is 192.168.1.1
