[QUOTE="Topper, post: 442387, member: 186250"] I have to confess I do not understand why your 'wired network' is using a fixed IP in a range different to everything else. Whatever you have connecting behind your firewalled router should be be obtaining an IP address from your DHCP server [B]or[/B] have a fixed IP address within the same range. What is the purpose of the 10.0.0.n address? is this required for a specific reason? or a specific piece of kit? Whilst I am sure most are aware of the following [FONT=Arial]The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets (local networks):[/FONT] [FONT=Arial]10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]Also, IP addresses in the range of 169.254.0.0 -169.254.255.255 are reserved for automatic private addressing.These IP's should not be used on the Internet.[/FONT] [FONT=Arial]I usually use 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, etc. and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 when assigning static IP addresses to computers on a small Local Area Networks (LANs). If a DHCP server is also on the LAN it's scope (range of IP addresses that it can assign to computers on the LAN set to obtain their IP addresses automatically) should be adjusted so it does not interfere with locally assigned static IP addresses.
