HomeHub - Has anyone got it working with a static ip?

sWiZzLe · 4 Aug 2007 at 15:56

The 'Assigned Games & Applications' are really getting on my nerves. As you can only assigned them per ip address, if the computers in the house connect in a different order, the applications assigned to my old ip get applied to someone elses :mad:

So i have to keep changing the settings all the time, so bloody irritating

If it doesn't have any options to assign static DHCP IP by MAC address or a reserved block for assigning a static IP, than give yourself the last usable IP for the subnet your router uses.

Usually 254 in the last octet.

254 is used by the Home Hub itself.
253 will be in use if you have a Hub Phone.

Therefore I'd go with something in the 245-250 range.
