[QUOTE="Peter2, post: 761418, member: 24945"] Hi Lehmden, why don't you give your server a fixed IP address. That way, even if the DHCP server on your network stops working, the machine remains reachable. If the other pc's are desktops as well and don't have to connect to other networks, I would give them a fixed address too. On top of that, you can kill the DHCP client service and if you use no mobile device, that needs dynamic ip addressing, you can stop the DHCP server as well in your router. The only downside to this is: 1) using mobile devices which need to connect dynamically without user intervention to different networks 2) if you switch to another router that operates in another LAN ip range, your pc's have to be re-configured - that is, their ip adresses.
