The way everything was set up 5 years ago, all the ip addresses were between 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.29. Everything on the net had a static ip. [I had a maven telling me how to do that.] It seems that the automatic assignments now are 192.168.0.100 .101 .102, etc. I would like to set all the items (2 desktops, 2 laptops, 2 printers) to static ips once again--only one of the laptops and the Epson are original components. Can the lower numbers between .10 and .29 be used now, or must they all be greater than .100? --doug
