Re: Trouble connecting to modem with 3386-ENT
that would be your WAN address or WAN IP in the 3386. |

Palau, PW | Thanks, the WAN IP worked fine. Is there a way to set this router to have a specified list of static IP addresses as well as act as DHCP?
For instance run static IPs ranging 100-123 and DHCP for all others? |

| I have a 3346 so details may be slightly different but it is easy to do.
First step is to pick a LAN IP range. Say for instance a /24 with a starting address of 192.168.2.1. and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. That means computers on the LAN can have any address from 192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.254.
Then set up DHCP server to only use a portion of that range. Assign static IP addresses outside range used by DHCP but within range assigned to the LAN.
Rather then assign static IP address you can setup MAC reservation, Netopia calls it Static ARP. Clients are configured for DHCP. DHCP server is configured to assign same IP address to a given MAC. This provides benefit of static allocation (address does not change) with the convenience of DHCP.
