![]() ![]() A static address does not change at all and are normally used for servers, printers, managed network devices, etc. 255 is your broadcast address.įirst, those are not static addresses. Give them a 10.105.66.x and subnet of 255.255.255.0 and that will give you 253 useable addresses assuming. If you have any doubt about the need for PUBLIC IP addresses but suggestion to you is save yourself a ton of headache and just change their address scheme now. It is pretty uncommon though because leasing a large block of public IPs is a monthly cost that can be pretty steep. You accept some large risks and you better have an awesome firewall in place but we have done this at a few offices we work with. Now if your ISP has given you a PUBLIC block of IP addresses that is large enough to assign one to every device in the network then you could do that. The biggest reason to not do this is what happens when you try to reach a website whose server address is a 105.66.x.x? Your Linksys will point that traffic back into your network creating a awesome loop that will likely lock up your router. Class A is 10.x.x.xClass B is 172.16.x.x - 172.31.x.xClass C is .xThe reason most routers default to a .x range is that a normal class C range has 254 useable IP addresses in it and that is more than enough for anyone buying a Linksys router.Any IP scheme out the ones listed above is a PUBLIC IP address which means it is route-able on the internet. ![]() there are only a few PRIVATE IP address ranges. It should be with in the range you told the router to distribute. As to displaying the ip address on a windows 7 machine either open command prompt and enter ipconfig /all or click on the network symbol on the task bar and open network and sharing center, from there click on the adapter connected to the router then click details and look for the ipv4 address. Then either unconnect and reconnect the device your using to configure the router or release and renew the ip address through command prompt. save the changes at the bottom of the page. then you can change the default start and stop range for dhcp usually only like this 10.1.1.xxx, using 10.1.1.0 as an example network. ![]() change the default dhcp address to the one you want as well as the subnet, unless you want to do subnetting on the network. open that in any browser and enter the login credentals the default is usually user: admin password:admin. Linksys routers have a default web configuration page at 192.168.1.1. However, if you still want to do it, here's a rough explination as to how. I agree with Bruce Epper in that the address range your talking about is publicly internet routable and will possibly cause problems with computers on that network. ![]()
