DI-524 Static IP while in DHCP

DI-524 Static IP while in DHCP open original image

I have a real annoying trouble with my new DI-524 rev. E3.



This model has a feature allowing a cartain MAC address to always be assigned the same IP address. However, while trying to configure this option, I always get an error message telling me the MAC address is in the wrong format. I also tried the "Clone" button and it still displayed the same error message.



Anyone had success configuring this option.



Thanks !

Thanks gene

I upgraded to new firmware version and everything is now working fine!

Mathieu:

Wouldn't it be easier to restrict the DHCP range in your IP address range? Then you can simply assign those computers to specific IP addresses. (You will likely need to get the DNS addresses your router has been assigned and input those as well.

I have a DI-624 and use the "static DHCP" feature without problems.

Are you perhaps including characters other than 0123456789abcdef (or upper-case letters) in the IP address? (e.g., letter O instead of digit 0).
