I'm trying to add a DHCP reservation for an old Apple G5. Some others want to use it for testing software on PowerPC, and this seems like the easiest way to ensure port forwarding does not break over time.
According to How to do DHCP reservations with Actiontec MI424WR on the Verizon forums, I need to add the reservation via Advanced → IP Address Distribution → Connection List → New Static Connection. However, when I try to do it, I get the same error discussed at IP address questions for FIOS router MI424WR:
MAC Address already exists in Wireless Broadband Router's database.
Unfortunately, Verizon has off-loaded support to donors, so there's no answers from Verizon. There is an answer from a donor, but its a guess that does not help.
I've tried clearing the database by deleting relevant DNS entries, and deleting the existing DHCP leases. But the error persists.
How do I clear the MAC Address already exists in Wireless Broadband Router's database error message so I can add the reservation?
