| 1201270 | 2011-05-11 05:34:00 | When using a switch to increase the amount of computers that can access a network, will the modem it's connected to automatically assign different IP's to each computer connected to the switch? | icow (15313) | ||
| 1201271 | 2011-05-11 05:45:00 | I use a GB switch here. But I use manual ips | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1201272 | 2011-05-11 05:49:00 | Yes. | linw (53) | ||
| 1201273 | 2011-05-11 05:55:00 | I use a GB switch here. But I use manual ips Is that because you choose to? |

| 1201274 | 2011-05-11 06:17:00 | Yup because I use Mirc and you need a manual ip. And an Xbox which uses a manual ip as well. Since I've added its ip to DMZ in the router. Saves me stuffing around trying to add the ports. And the bluray player. The computers I have here, also use manual ips | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1201275 | 2011-05-11 07:51:00 | Sorry? you dont need a static ip for mirc |

| 1201276 | 2011-05-11 08:10:00 | Well you dont have to. But I do, so I can send files. So, I can add the ip to the router. Otherwise the router can / will block you from sending files | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1201277 | 2011-05-11 08:53:00 | Yes. As linw says, a normal network switch will simply pass through all the DHCP requests from your modem/router. |

| 1201278 | 2011-05-11 09:01:00 | Why not just use a HFS server and post the link like I do? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1201279 | 2011-05-11 09:40:00 | Because I dont have a server version of anything, and I dont send a lot of files in Mirc. And theyre not big. And theyre not warez either | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
