Well, here's one problem on one of my LANs. On this LAN I
reserve IPs between
.2 and .64 for servers and other devices which need known
IPs. My DHCP range
is .65 to .127. I have assigned "static" IPs to
several print-servers, let's
say 192.168.0.25 and .26, and to several workstations which
I need to get at
through the firewall using port-forwarding from known
off-site static IPs. I
want to keep these PServers DHCP-assigned so that if the
print-server has to be
reset back to factory specs it'll get the correct IP
automatically and I won't
have to come onsite to fix it. My workstations are
configured to use the
assigned IPs. If I have to change the IP address of the
print-servers to fit
inside the DHCP range, I'll have to reconfigure all the
workstations which are
printing to that IP.
