Title: Static IP
Post by: dichamw on October 27, 2009, 04:51:55 PM: Newbie. Almost canned/RMAed my DNS-343 and was going to call DLINK every name in the book. Loss connection to my network for no apparent reason. First thought it was a overheat problem, removed drives, button resets. Had to assign static IP, unable to receive DHCP. Keep giving me screw up IP address if use DHCP. Anybody else seen this problem and have better solution?

If you are receiving an IP address that is not in your subnet, then you have another DHCP server on your network. The DNS-343 doesn't just makeup numbers. It will either default to 192.168.0.32 when NO dhcp is found, or it will get dhcp properly.

Disconnected the Archos and was able to enable DNS 343 DCHP via the easy search application, which reassigned the DNS 343 to 192.168.0.14 and able to restore connectivity. Re enabled the wireless archos 705 and its DCHP assigned it to 192.168.0.18. The DNS 343 do not release from 192.168.0.14 reset or power off, even power cycled my DGS1016D switch. Although it now dynamic DNS, it seem locked on 192.168.0.14.

Post by: dichamw on October 30, 2009, 06:23:55 AM: I have put the DNS 343 on static IP of 192.168.0.32 outside the range of IP on the DIR 825 - 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.30 to accommodate 20 IPs. I have seven IP devices on DGS-1016D; 4 deskstops, one DNS 341, DIR 825 router, HP officejet l7600 printer, one DNS 343. Then three wireless devices Archos 605, Archos 705, and HP210 PDA on the DIR 825 router. Now does the DNS 343 on the static outside the range, enjoy less bandwidth or functions of the devices that are inside the range, simply is it disavantaged outside the range of the DIR 825?
