I understood Neil to mean: You pre-allocate IP addresses to specific MAC addresses for a range of e.g. 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.10. Any new comers with MAC addresses not in the DHCP address allocation table will then obtain IP addresses outside this defined range. Some routers also allow you to specify the range within which DHCP addresses will be allocated. So you can set static address allocation outside said range. -- Regards, Mick
