Nighthawk RX45 - how to configure a PC for static IP
I configured my PC with static IP, Gateway, Netmask & DNS. But, when I go to that IP i get a router login request. I can log in as admin but of course that is not what I want to share.
Not sure if any of these recommendations would have worked. For future reference this did: 1) Static IP required for the router 2) Set domain A record to router 3) Set static IP for target PC rather than DHCP 4) Configured port forwarding on router for HTTP to this local address.
You have to choose an IP *outside* the router's DHCP range but within its subnet. So if the DHCP range is 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.254, you have to lower the range (say from .254 to .200) and use an IP above .200
Thanks but I'm attempting to set up a static IP on just one PC that will allow external, rather than local, access. I assume that I need to configure router to allow this.
Put it in the DMZ. You don't really need a static IP. You can give that PC a reserved DHCP IP from the router and put that in the DMZ
Very helpful, this is 180 from the direction I was looking!
