Next is a table titled "ADDRESS RESERVATION"...I have 19 entries in this table and they don't seem to change. They don't change, they appear as they connect to router, for those who use address reservations this saves them the time and effort of adding all the data. If you want to add a device you simply check it and edit last XXX of IP and then hit apply it then drops down to reservation list.
Are these entries Static or reserved IP's??? reserved ONCE you add to address reservations
Thanks for your reply. You're welcome!
PS..I never manually setup these addresses..they are just in this table. YES THAT is correct!
my comments are in red encase it's not obvious
Also my list is full with 22 reserved devices and my TABLE is empty because everything attached is reserved, don't get hung up over what list shows first meaning address reservation or address reservations TABLE it will be different depending on how big your network is.
I'm posting screenshots but they will take time to appear.
The page you are talking about IS the IP Addresses you have reserved. Those reservations were made by you by adding them. Only way they could have been reserved as far as I recall?
Looking at the Access Control list you should see all those attached.
This is my screenshots of my reserved list and access control:
Note: If you are going to use the PROPERTIES of your NETWORK ADAPTER to assing IP Address to a specific DEVICE, make sure it can not be given out otherwise you could have collision. That is why it is better to use the router to reserve an address, that way it doesn't give it out to any other machine.
"PS..I never manually setup these addresses..they are just in this table. ", like I said, it don't think there is any other way but it being done on the router? I don't think the machine asking for it goes in that list. Should be easy to check though, look in the properties for the machines network adapter and see if it set.
All connected devices show up in address reservation "TABLE" list and are move to address reservation list If and when selected
I know you can't see my screenshots, but that is not the case. Wait awhile for it to show.
We may be talking symantics here too. There IS an Address Reservation table. This is where IP Address reservation 'you' made by adding MAC Addresses to specific IP Addresses is listed.
The Access Control page list of connected devices doesn't have a 'name' for the list. All devices connected show there. You can't move anything from that list either, about all you can do it EDIT its name or change its access rights.
