I do not think I am +</I>><i> able to assign fixed IP addresses. +</I> +I am obviously not familiar with the ISP or hardware you are using, but +every dsl router/cable modem/switch that I've ever seen has 2-3 +interfaces. One interface that connects to the ISP (they often call this +the WAN), one to the LAN (your local network), and optionally one to a +wireless network. If your computer has a 192.168.x.x address then that +was assigned by the router in your basement, not the ISP. + +For the connection to the ISP, your router is a dhcp *client* (unless +you pay for a static IP). You should never mess with that interface or +you will spend many hours in customer service hell trying to repair your +connection. + +For your LAN interface (and wireless interface if you have it) your +router is a dhcp *server* and your computers are the dhcp clients. These +interfaces are configurable by the end user (you) and can be changed to +*not* be a dhcp server, but to be a fixed IP gateway. You should also be +able to leave dhcp enabled and still assign fixed IP addresses to +certain hardware, but this depends on the router. In any case the ISP +router/modem/switch forwards the traffic from this connection through +the WAN interface to the ISP servers and the rest of the internet. + +If you want to change the LAN settings on your router, you can usually +do this through an http connection on modern hardware. You should +connect to the router from a wired connection. Some hardware also allows +wireless connections to the administrative interface but this incredibly +insecure since anyone within range can re-program your network using the +default username/password combinition. Anyway, you usually use a web +browser and go to something like "<A HREF="http://www.routerlogin.net">http://www.routerlogin.net</A>". The exact +site name, username, and password is often printed somewhere on the +router, or you can get your model number and do a search on the internet +for the manual which usually has this info. + +It's just a network interface and it's not really any different from +configuring your PC interface. If you want to go this route I can offer +some advice, but you really need a copy of the manual on your desktop +before you start messing with this stuff. Especially since you've never +done it before. + +Jeff + +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="006656.html">[Mageia-discuss] home network using broadband router +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="006658.html">[Mageia-discuss] home network using broadband router +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#6657">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#6657">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#6657">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#6657">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
