How do I get my computer to always use the same ipaddress, currently this seems to be allocated by the router then if that machine is shutdown and another machine started then the ipaddress can be allocated to that machine instead.
I would much prefer it if each computer always used the same ipaddress.
Computers on the network are:
PC Macbook ipad linux machine nas
and some can be connected wireless, via ethernet or both (whihc seem to both have their own ipaddress)
Help with even configuring some of these oses would be useful
1You want to set a static IP address (locally) OR set a reservation (on the server). However, without knowing the model of your router, we cannot help any further. – jnovack – 2013-04-04T17:17:36.550
Sorry its a Thomson TG585 v7 router – Paul Taylor – 2013-04-04T19:41:38.940
Google seems to suggest you cannot do it on the router (the DHCP server) with this god awful piece of equipment. Although, if you really want to learn and you are adventurous, you should be able to install OpenWRT on it. Therefore, your only other option is to assign static addresses to your devices.
