That's the right place. But on the Setup Basic page you should set the DHCP scope to exclude the addresses you're using there. Click 'Add' and enter the info in all the fields correctly, else when you save/apply, it blanks them all out again (just the one you're working on; previous saves should not go blank from messing up a new one). Enter the MACs in the form 01:23:45:ab:cd:ef (i.e. not 012345abcdef, nor 01-23-45-ab-cd-ef, nor even cisco's 0123.45ab.cdef format). I use the NetBIOS name in the Host name field. If they're members of a domain, you should use the DHCP server of the domain controller, as DD-WRT's DHCP server is lacking a few features (e.g. no matter what IP is set for the "Gateway" in "Network Setup" the DHCP server instead assigns the "Local IP Address" as the Gateway when responding to BOOTP requests... it's also slooooow to respond). I use 10080 minutes for the Lease Time (1440 minutes is 1 day, of course). You're supposed to be able to leave that one blank (I think it defaults to 4 days if blank), but I fill it in anyway. You cannot assign the same IP to multiple MACs (even if they're the wired and wireless interfaces on the same machine and are configured so only one can be active at a time). For the laptop I usually use on a dock, I have 3 IPs reserved (for wireless, NIC, and the dock's NIC). Once you get the format right so it saves OK, you can click 'Add' enough times to open the number of IP's you want to reserve and do them all at once, then click Save... but that's not much faster than saving them one-at-a-time. Once they're all saved, click Apply Settings. When it comes back, click Reboot Router, then the Static Leases should work. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
