Static IPs no longer log on...?

If it's like the BEFSR41 router like I have, have you tried
unplugging the power from the router for several seconds then
reconnecting? I have to do this about once every month or two.

The BEFSR41 router also has a filter setting which will keep
designated ranges of IP addresses from accessing the internet.
Did you check this?

Other than that, no clue.

Hi again,

I did power it down a number of times in the course of
trying to diagnose this thing.

And, nothing is filtered.

This is a weird one, and I thank you for your efforts,

Try posting an unedited ipconfig /all from the PC while on DHCP,
and while it has a static.

Hi again,

I am happy to do that, but other than a screen shot (which,
I assume could not be posted here) how can I provide that
info?

Is there a better approach than simply copying it? (which,
of course, I would do...)

Thanks as before,

To do a copy in a Command window, right-click anywhere in the window
and select "Mark". Then use your left mouse button to drag over text,
then hit the "Enter" key. This will do the equivalent of a "Copy".
Then paste it in any other window as usual.

HTH,
John

Hmmm, I never knew that...

I am not in the office right now, but yesterday, the laptop
I'm now using could not see the Internet if set to a static
IP.

So, I just set it to static, and (as you may have guessed by
now) it has Internet access.

Perhaps it is just this machine that is cured, but if, as I
am starting to suspect, this is a flaky router thing, it may
happen that all the systems in the office behave in the same
way.

I'll have more information tomorrow.

Many thanks,

Yes, but that isn't necessary here. Kenneth, try this in a command prompt:

ipconfig /all >c:\myfilename.txt

...open that file in notepad, select, copy & paste

Many thanks... I'm too sleepy right now to have remembered
that.

All the best,

Grrrrr...

I'm back in the office, set some systems to static IPs, and
they are working perfectly.

I know that with it working well, there is nothing I can
diagnose, but something tells me that, like the Terminator,
"I'll be back."

Many thanks,

As well as doing the stuff noted in the other posts, check to see if
there is any difference in behaviour when you change to a static ip
addess within the dhcp pool range from one outside the dhcp pool
range.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for that interesting suggestion...,
