Let me know if you need any more assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfman HalfAmazing Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 why do you recomend the static ip? is it that important? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 why do you recomend the static ip? is it that important? Yes because otherwise the router may assign a different IP address on a reboot which means all packets would be forwarded from the wrong device.

fuzzy clam Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Yes because otherwise the router may assign a different IP address on a reboot which means all packets would be forwarded from the wrong device. Just to add to what bags was saying if you don't set a static IP addy for your console but port forward and your console is the only thing on that day it will be fine but the following day you go to game but that day someone is on a laptop and a phone surfing the web etc. Now,one of those other devices on your network could have the same IP addy that was handed out dynamically for your console yesterday when you manually port forwarded,but didn't set it as static.So now for example... a laptop has your console's IP addy and the ports forwarded to it instead of your console. As bags said it's important, if your going to PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 25, 2017 Administrators Share Posted July 25, 2017 why do you recomend the static ip? is it that important? As has been mentioned if the IP changes then your port forwarding would not be going to the console anymore. If you set a static IP for the console the IP will never change and therefore your port forwarding settings will always apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
