Re: [Staffslug] File servers?

Like the other guys the advice I'd offer is try and use a high number that is unlikely to be given out by the DHCP. Because I tried using 192.168.1.2 (all IPs are 192.168.1.X on my network) and it ended up messing the entire network up, as the other computers on the network were insistant that DHCP give them 192.168.1.2 (I suspect the router remember their MAC address from before going static and auto-assigned the last IP it gave it). I in the end had to use 192.168.1.10, and as theres only 6 computers .10 will never be given out by DHCP.
