Re: Static DHCP IP-s with whr-hp-g54 with Tomato 1.23
Thank you DataAve, this surely will work.
But my problem is some different. I want to assign (defined by me) static IP-s without physical touching client's machines, without installing whatever software on them, without even knowing what these machines look like and what OS they use. Some of this PC-s are locked by door-locks; some are inaccessible physically (wireless); and more - I would not like to discuss with their users the IP-s of their machines and the router's rules assigned to each separate static IP.
If assigning a static IP directly on client's machine is the only way of assigning of static IP in the network - why then is necessary the option "Static DHCP" in the router firmware? Also in the Tomato Wikibook (»en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Tomato_Firmware) nowhere is mentioned that it is necessary to go and run each client's machine "TCP/IP Properties" to assign it a static IP.
In the router's firm section "Static DHCP" I see day after day the list of assigned by me IP-s, but in the section "Device List" are mentioned used by the router another IP-s not assigned by me in the list "Static DHCP".
Surely there is another trick in Tomato with the static IP-s that I could not understand. |

Is there another router assigning IP addresses on the same network? |

| The computer needs to have the static IP locally assigned, (on the computer itself). Otherwise it only is capable of accepting DHCP. Maybe you could temporarily disable DHCP and run in to set up static IP on each computer as they complain about the problem.
