Many of those cheap units will reset their DHCP table, so that they don't know what addresses have been handed out. If you are giving your FIXED IP computers an address in your DHCP scope, then you're making a mistake. The Fixed IP computers should not be in the DHCP range provided by the firewall. -- Leythos - Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum. - Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented worker" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist" spam999free@rrohio.com (remove 999 for proper email address)
