Settings > DHCP Lease doesn't work

[abc123]

My setup:

 

however, rebooting the router (manually) and "ipconfig /release" "ipconfig /renew" isn't doing anything, IP addresses haven't been reallocated.

 

The trick here is to restart the DHCP server when you change one of these settings.

This section needs to be retested a little bit, thanks for letting us know!

[abc123]

Yeah, just checked them again...the static DHCP addresses aren't working.

 

The issue here being I can't port forward if the IP addresses continuously changing

I will try fix asap, but my experience with the DHCP is it does a good job of assigning same IPs to same device.

true, but my house is pretty specific about  which IP goes with what:

 

File Server = 192.168.1.50 (so i can diagnose issues)

Mac Mini = 192.168.1.55 (plex media client, need to VNC in sometimes)

I agree with abc, I have about 10 devices that need static IP's, ranging from NAS to linux tuners (easier to flash images as I don't have to go through my DHCP leases to find my tuners anymore)

Sure, it sounds like a definite bug I'll look into it after geo-filter reporting 2. I'll try address all bugs in that patch. Then we're onto improvements

Ok I've looked back at this section. It is working as intended, you can't change the lease of a computer till it decides to renew it. Which in most of these cases is 12 hours. If you assign a computer a host number, go to the DHCP settings and renew the lease. You'll see it change to the one you assigned.

I have my lease time set to 1 Hour in (DHCP)...In DHCP Lease I have three devices set to static...

None of those 3 devices have taken their DHCP Lease IP for over 3 days now.

[Guest Netduma_Iain]

On the device itself can you try renew the IP.

[abc123]

I did,

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

[abc123]

 

this is what it is doing in device manager

[Guest Netduma_Iain]

I'll need to look into it more. Its working fine at my end. What OS you running? I presume MAC OS by that command

As far as I know MAC OS is ifconfig, not ipconfig?

 

ipconfig is windows isn't it?

[Guest Netduma_Iain]

ifconfig is UNIX based OS. However renew/release I believe is MAC probably BSD derivatives.

Oh, I see

[abc123]

nope, I have anything and everything in my network:

- Windows 8 x64

- MacBook Pro 13" Yosemite

- MacBook Pro 15" Yosemite

- iPhone 6

- iPhone 6

- iPhone 5 (test phone)

- Harmony Unity Hub (embedded unix system)

- Arduino Wifi

- Mac Mini Yosemite

- iPad

- Synology DS1512+ (Unix based OS)

 

Windows:

 

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

 

Mac OS X

 

sudo ifconfig en1 down
sudo ifconfig en1 up

[Guest Netduma_Iain]

Not sure will need to instigate further.

After assigning dhcp leases I also noticed the double ips, but I cycled the modem and they cleared to the intended IP lease.  

 

For my CCTV, NAS,  etc has been static since. 

[Guest Netduma_Iain]

Thanks for letting me know will investigate as soon as possible.
