I had my router off for a long time (a week)

And now the router has given the wrong ip's to my pc's.

it's a dlink dsl504, any suggestions? I THINK it will be somewhere in dhcp but i aint 100% sure.
 
192.168.0.2 is your router IP address. Your PC's IP address is given and shown on "connected devices" or similar, and is automatic.

It's 192.168.0.1 .
 
change your router so that it starts giving out DHCP IP addresses at 192.168.0.10 onwards and then set your pc's ip manually (in tcp-ip) to 192.168.0.2

Sometimes it moves IP address of a certain PC, so if you have port forwarding to that machine it will no longer work if that machine isn't the downloading box. Would be useful for DHCP to keep each LAN IP address fixed.
 
You get set the routers DHCP range, in this case

192.168.0.2-254

everytime a pc appears on the network it will be given the next available address in that range of i.pss

Like, how can I ensure its fixed. I've port forwarded the correct ports for Steam to my computer, Steam still won't log in, in the Steam log it displays:

CsComm Session Nov-15-2006 22:41:43.479 [3324] ReconnectThread (3324) Starting
CsComm Session Nov-15-2006 22:41:58.027 [3324] ReconnectThread (3324) Told to exit

I don't know whats making it not connect, but it says told to exit? what does this mean? that somethings forcing it to not connect? im not sure at all, any help appreciated.
 
Just set the pc you to use a static ip, when the router issues out ip address through DHCP it wont assign an I.P address thats already been assigned statically, it will assign the next available address.

Set your router to 192.168.1.1, set the pc which you use for downloading as 192.168.1.2, enable DHCP on the router, all the other machines in your house set to pick up an address automatically.

When one of those machines then turn on it will get the next available address which will be 192.168.1.3, then 192.168.1.4

bad idea, if the machine with the static IP is off when another machine turns on it will be given the same address and potentially cause an IP conflict. hence why i said above that the dhcp range needs to be changed. To set a manual IP go to network connections, right click on LAN, properties, double click tcp/ip and enter your settings there.

IP - 192.168.0.2
Subnet - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.0.1

DNS - use your ISP settings.

Whack a server in the middle then and create a DHCP reservation for that machine so that it will not be allocated to someone else or get a router capable of DHCP reservations.

Or do it the way you said ;)
 
can you're router not assign specific ip addresses to specific MAC addresses? my dg834g can, and that's old now... that way my server is always on the same address and stuff like port 80 forwarding works.

and do you really need ports forwarding for steam? I know i don't through my router... as me and my bro often connect to the same server to play against each other, and that wouldn't work if we were forwarding ports?

Just give it a static address up the "pile" somewhere. In my case, my static addressed machine is 192.168.0.10. My other machines just use up 192.168.0.2 then 3 then 4... They never get anywhere near upto 10 :)

To be supersafe just give the machine in question 192.168.0.100 for example :)
