Re: [Staffslug] File servers?
Currently my router takes 192.168.0.1 then there are about 4 or 5
different PC's that are
assigned a random address via DHCP from the router. Hence me plucking
a highish number out of the air. Could I use something like
192.168.0.10 instead?
OK ignore the stuff about class B network ranges. Just stick to your
192.168.0.0 network. ;) Yeah check your router to see how big the DHCP
pool is. This is the "pool" of addresses that can be assigned to hosts
through DHCP. When you choose the IP for your server, make sure it's not
covered by the DHCP pool otherwise there's a possible chance of IP conflict
in the future. If your pool covers the entire 192.168.0.2 -
192.168.0.254range then make it smaller then use an address outside
the pool.
