Re: [Dorset] DHCPCD.conf configuration for static addresses in a Raspberry Pi
Cheers, Peter Terry said If you do a clean install, at least you will know that there is nothing hanging around that is upsetting things. I have downloaded the new version of Raspian Stretch lite, and configured it, and it works straight in on my desired wireless lan IP. The only extra change that I made, and I doubt it had any effect, was to comment out the command to generate stable IPv6 addresses. Thanks to all for your help.

OK. Just seems odd to have a /27 and ensure everything is configured to
that so 192.168.1.31 is recognised as a broadcast, not host, address
instead of the more normal 192.168.1.255. 192.168.1.0/24 would still
allow restricting the DHCP server to a subset of the /8 hosts, and
192.168.{2,3...}.0/24 is available if you need other networks instead of
192.168.1.{32,64...}/27.
Cheers, Ralph.

If that doesn't work, then I can only suggest that your router is to blame in some way. Interesting thought.

Come to think of it; I assume that your Router is set up to serve up addresses in a DHCP Range outside the ,8 that you want? If this has worked before, I would imagine that it must be. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting at *new* venue: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2018-11-06 20:00 Check if you're replying to the list or the author Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
