Which address do i change on the uno to act as a static address.
Sorry mate. Did not make myself clear, have changed DHCP to no, but do i change i.p address or netmask or gateway. Which one do i use as static address . Thanks for the quick reply by the way.
Cheers .The reason i need to change static address is that i needed to change to connect to DCC .I used a number between 1 and 254 which i made a note of but did not make a note of which address to change. The reason i lost it was that i changed my blackhole image. Now i have to start from scratch again , learning how to ftp and get ***** going again. I originally just dropped lucky setting up . Thanks again for being so helpful.
Hi,
just for info, it's good to know what is dynamic range of your dhcp server, and setup static address outside of this range, because there is the chance, that two devices has the same address, so you may encounter really strange network problems![]()
In this case it is (imho) to let it obtain the IP thru DHCP, and make a "static/reserved" lease in the router so it will allways get the same ip.
I agree there are some routers that does not support it, but it is not many anymore i think.Chances are that you will end up resetting the vu+ box more often than the router, so use it whenever possible .That's true, but not all cheap routers have option to set up static DHCP lease![]()
