Don't use the dynamic IP address provided by the DHCP server in your router.
Instead configure your host's TCP/IP setup to use a static IP address (and
one that is outside the IP range handled by the DHCP server in your router).
If your router's DHCP server manages IP addresses from 192.168.1.100-200

Let me try.
You want the computer that runs your FTP server to keep its local (LAN)
IP address.
There are two ways you can do this:
1. You can configure the router's DHCP server to always assign the same
IP address to that computer -- but not all routers can be so configured.
2. You can configure the computer with a static IP address (which has

Hi
Routers with more than 4 ports are overpriced and under performing.
8 ports Giga capable Switch would provide better result, would be less
expensive, and would be compatible with faster Network traffic when the time
comes to upgrade to Giga capable Network.
Example for a very good switch,

All you need is a suitable switch(hub) connected to one router port. This
will not affect the operation of DHCP. In fact, since many 4-port routers act
as dumb hubs rather than switching hubs, you may get better LAN performance
if you use the switch ports for all local computers, and just have one lead

Network expansion questions

2010-01-06T07:35:09Z

Greetings, network gurus.
A friend of mine who owns a retail store has asked me to help him expand
his in-store network. His situation is as follows:
The store has 3 POS computers, one of them is the main server.
Additionally, there is a computer in the office. So altogether 4
computers, they're all connected to a Linksys 4-port router which in turn

other desktops that are working with no problems and are connecting
fine. All of the desktops are connected with a Belkin Wireless G Router

Try these:
1. run nslookup and make sure you don't have any errors.
2. Switch the DNS to 95, for example server x.x.x.95.
3. enter a web site and press enter. Do you see any errors?
Or post back with the result of ipconfig /all here.

Hi
Some Routers have IP Reservation (aka Static DHCP). If your Router has it,
set the IP of the computer that runs the ftp to a reserved IP status.
Otherwise, assign to the computer's TCP/IP an static IP that is out of the
DHCP Range.

Strange DNS behaviour

2010-01-05T22:52:01Z

I have an Active Directory domain (Server 2003 r2) with three AD integrated
DNS servers, x.x.x.85, x.x.x.87, and x.x.x.95. Most XP workstations are
configured for 95 and 85 but they query 85 only. For instance if I use
nslookup it shows x.x.x.85 as the server it's working against, even if the 85

Set an IP reservation for the FTP server in the router setup or manually set
the servers IP using an address outside of the routers DHCP scope.

Few days ago I have been portforwarding ports 20-21 in my router for using
my FTP server.
Thought I had done the job for once and for all and everything worked fine.
Today people again couldn't get into my server.
After looking in the router setup again, it seemed that all by itself the
inernal ip of the PC had changed, so I had to portforward to another ip
