Your router may call them static IPs, but they don't fit the usual definition of static IP, which is something that is coded into the client. They are "reserved" addresses or sometimes the confusing "static DHCP". The difference, as others have pointed out, is that your approach requires DHCP to be working on both the client and server ends, and true static IPs don't require DHCP at all.
It works for you because your router's DHCP server and the DHCP clients in your various devices work as they should. It works for me, too, and a lot of other people. But that's not the case for everyone. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80577 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
