| Re: [ADSL] Newbie router IP address question OK thanks. I do listen to tech support, really. 
Only this Demon one wasn't really very confident or convincing, and kept trying to tell me not to worry about the DHCP assignment of IP addresses within my own little home network - so I didn't think he understood.
Plus the router manual is pretty clear that it wants me to enter a static IP address in the appropriate configuration field. Their tech supp is now in India - it took more than 10 minutes (really) for him to get my name and address, and when we got totally stuck on the 15 digit/letter serial number I gave up in disgust - maybe he'd have known the answer if he'd understood the question, but he'd never have understood the question.
So, I understand that my router will fetch an address from my ISP when I connect, and because my ISP offers me a static IP, that will always be the same. |
