| 840411 | 2009-12-16 23:29:00 | Our server (actually a bog-standard PC running a heavily stripped down Windows XP Pro) gives out a different IP address to the rest of the computers on the network. When I enter its IP address into Firefox, nothing happens, but when the "proper" address is entered, it takes us to our router setup page (which I want for now). What's causing this? | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 840412 | 2009-12-16 23:34:00 | Can you give an example of the addresses being given out, and the addresses of the "Server" and router? What is providing DHCP services on the "Server"? Sounds like maybe the router is doing it instead. | inphinity (7274) | ||

| 840414 | 2009-12-17 00:25:00 | Server: 118.93.181.204 My PC: 125.236.191.36 Router: 125.236.191.36 EDIT: I checked the server settings, it says the DHCP server is 192.168.1.1, i.e. the router. |

| 840415 | 2009-12-17 00:29:00 | So your server is on an ihug connection & your router (and your PC) is on a xtra connection? Are they both also on the same local LAN? |

| 840416 | 2009-12-17 00:46:00 | The server is on the same LAN as all the other PCs, i.e. accessing the Internet through the router, but it has a different IP address. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 840417 | 2009-12-17 00:50:00 | Well something is seriously borked. >nslookup 118.93.181.204 Name: 118-93-181-204.dsl.dyn.ihug.co.nz Address: 118.93.181.204 Where is it getting that IP from? What are you trying to achieve? |

| 840418 | 2009-12-17 00:56:00 | I want to be able to enter the IP address and (router permitting) access the server. I already have a script that allows for the dynamic IP address. I'll check the settings once it's finished repartitioning (increasing Windows partition to 10GB from 4GB). |

| 840419 | 2009-12-17 01:02:00 | You need to give a bit more info about your environment, as it is making zero sense at the moment. How can you have a server with an IP that resolves to an ihug dsl line behind a router on a xtra jetstream connection? |

| 840420 | 2009-12-17 02:11:00 | How can you have a server with an IP that resolves to an ihug dsl line behind a router on a xtra jetstream connection? That's what I want to know. Also, I'm talking about Internet IP addresses, i.e. the one sent out to the world. |
