How do I check if I have static DCHP on my router? Also I thought the whole point of DHCP, was that the router asigns a different ip to your computer each time, so why is it static? Also what do you mean by 'flag the mac adress'? I'm sure it is much easier than it sounds but all the terms are so cryptic for me
Well in my network at home I want all wifi clients to be DHCP, but I want a few desktops to have statics. Static DHCP allows to you keep Dynamic IPs but assign statics to a certain MAC Address. I will attach a screen shot of my router's CP which allows me to do so. Every control panel and firmware is different.
