IP Clashing with my Windows Home Server...

Hi all,

As you probably know for Windows Home Server remote access to work - you have to assign the WHS a Static IP address.

Now my router (Linksys WAG200) does not have the DHCP reservation option - So I had to set the WHS (TCP/IP Properties) so that it uses the same IP address.

However, today I turned on my PS3 first and that took the IP of the WHS..??

So what's the best solution? Give the WHS a totally random IP address?

Thanks

I'm giving it an adress of 192.168.1.101

Should I give it 192.168.1.150 ?

ok - thanks

mine's shows a 'Starting IP Address' which is: 192.168.1.100

and 'Maximum Number of DHCP Users:' = 50

SoundsGood said:
Change starting IP address to 192.168.102

ok

...and then leave the WHS IP as 192.168.101 ...?
