Title: Is the DIR655 A4 able to assign IP addresses
Post by: Taino718 on May 18, 2010, 10:03:05 PM: I have a version A4 DIR655 and I am having problems assigning IP addresses to my computers. DHCP is on. Internet connects via dynamic ip (DHCP).

Strange behavior: All computers can connect if Internet Protocol properties are set as "obtain an IP address automatically" and "obtain DNS server address automatically."

If I try to assign static addresses to any of the computers I get a warning "multiple gateways..."

I am still using firmware V121.

Any suggestions are welcome.

This will make them static as they will always have the same IP given to them from the router.

Hi Alcatraz001,

You need to log into your DNS-323 Settings and tell it what IP Address to use.

Then you need to also tell the Router the same Static IP Address to assign to the DNS-323.

You also need to forward the port 21 to your FTP Server.

http://192.168.0.1/Advanced/Virtual_Server.shtml (http://192.168.0.1/Advanced/Virtual_Server.shtml)

Read the DNS-323 Manual to see exactly what to do for setting up the DIR-655 to forward the port to the Server.

Can't you just let DNS-323 acquire from DHCP and set Router to set fixed IP alloc to MAC-address? I am not sure that first step is needed to get it a fixed IP-address from reserved router-set...

Just putting in my $0.02

Hi Mackerel,

No, especially if you are running a FTP Server. You can download the PDF Manual from D-Link Support for the DNS-323 and read it.
