Two questions: 1. How do I find out what's in the router pool?
That's not easy to tell, because each router does it a bit different. I would have to read that router manual. If the router is provided by your ISP, then it would depend on how your ISP sets up your router. Ideally, there would be a manual from your ISP, so have a look at your ISP web help pages.
2. 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?
Ok, if you notice that your automatic IPs are getting numbers like 100, 101, 102... chances are that you can manually assign numbers starting from 2 up to 99 - but this is a guess. So, yes, you could use number between .10 and .29. That is, SMALLER than .100. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.2 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))
