Ipconfig?
Just out of curiosity -
Why is it that the IP addresses I get from Ipconfig on my two machines 192.168.2 and 192.168.1.5, and not 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2? ME |

Hmmm 192.168.1.1 is my login 192.168.1.2 gets no response, but should be my second machine 192.168.1.3 indeed is my network printer. TX ME |

You never mention if there are other hosts obtaining IP addresses from the DHCP server in your router. and not 192.168.1.1 That's your router's own LAN-side IP address. and 192.168.1.2? Probably because your router's DHCP setup starts at a different low end for the boundary of the range of IP addresses that it assigns. Only you know how DHCP is configured in your router and only you know your unidentified router. |

.1 is normally in use as the router. .2 would normally be the first available in the IP pool. For whatever reason your router handed out .5. It may be that it has lost track of the available slots and has no reason to reset the table. |

It may be that it has lost track of the available slots and has no reason to reset the table. On my router, the DHCP server has a starting address and a total number of addresses. So I can set it to 192.168.32.54 and number of addresses to 10, and it would hand out addresses from 192.168.32.54 thru 192.168.32.63 . It doesn't have to start at .2 if you don't want it to. Paul |

I was commenting on the OP's likely IPPOOL addresses and why his had gaps. Mine is set for a very narrow range low but all machines are configured directly high to allow the firewalls to deny access to any that get DHCP assignment. An additional roadblock to rogue wireless access. |
