how to bind an IP to a mac address on D-Link


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys, how are you? hope you are doing fine.

I need to assing an specific mac address / pc to an specific IP so that everytime that they boot they recieve the same ip

for example

home PC to 192.168.0.101

laptop to 192.168.0.102

iphone to 192.168.0.103

The reason is beacause in my actual configuration, everytime that i restart one of that devices they get a random IP and i need to re setup the port forwarding every day and i am a bit tired of doing that.

Thanks in advance guys

I havent used a Dlink router for years but with most other home routers, the setting you are looking for is usually on the same page that you configure DHCP from.

I do have to ask though, why not just assign the devices with static IP's?

how do you do the second one?

It depends on the Operating System but for Windows XP

Go into Control Panel

(Classic View) Open Network Connections

(Category View) Select Network and Internet Connections, and then Network Connections.

Double-click on the active "Local Area Connection"

Click Properties

In the General Tab, highlight "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" then click on the properties tab

In the General tab, click Use the following IP address, and enter:

- IP address. The static IP address you want to assign to this computer. (192.168.0.x)

- Subnet mask. Subnet mask used by your router. (255.255.255.0)

- Default gateway. IP address of your router

- Preferred DNS Server. IP Address of your router

Click OK to close each window

That should be it. Each time you restart the machine(s) they will keep the same statically assigned IP address. Sorry but i have no idea how to set up the IPhone to achieve the same result. Maybe somebody else can help with that.

What you're looking for on your router configuration is something along the lines of 'Address Reservation'.

It'll ask you what IP address you want to assign, and will have a place to put the relevant MAC address in. Most router have a way of showing what devices are currently connected. You'll get the MAC address from there.

After that, it's simply a matter of putting in the right MAC address with the right IP address.

i know for my dlink, to assign a ip address to a computer i must

- open the router configuration page

- in the "setup" tab/page click on "network settings" on the left-hand column

- scroll all the way to the bottom and click "DHCP Reservations List"

- find my computer listed there and click enable

- save configuration

------

don't manually assign ip addresses thru the operating system, especially when your laptop is constantly on the go and connects to other networks.

i cant believe it, but i have done some google searching, and i found out that my router

dLink WBR-1310 does not come with dhcp reservation... :(

i have manually done it with the explanation MagicMan provided and it seems to be working perfectly :)

Thanks guys

    • Google Workspace now lets you use custom AI Gems directly in Docs, Gmail, and more by Paul Hill Google Workspace users can now access Gems from the side panel of Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, Drive, and Gmail. Previously, Gems could only be accessed from the Gemini app directly. For anyone not familiar with Gems, they’re a more advanced feature in Gemini where you can make your own chatbots, powered by Gemini, with custom instructions. If you’re interested in learning more about them, check out my editorial from April, where I argue custom AI bots are the best thing about generative AI and how to create your own bots. The decision to make Gems available across Google Workspace has the potential to significantly speed up people’s workflows if they’ve started using Gems already. If you’ve never made a Gem, Google has several pre-made ones including a Brainstormer, Writing editor, Coding partner, and Learning guide. Google Workspace users can leverage Gems in an almost infinite number of ways. For example, imagine if you’re a teacher in whatever country and you have to make lesson plans for your class that must follow a certain structure, you can use natural language to program a gem to expect certain inputs from you (such as grade, subject, topic etc) and get an output that follows the required guidelines. If you’re a journalist, you could create a gem to quickly strip out the key bits of news from a press release or if you’re a student you can create a bot to break down complicated subjects into something easier to understand. The possibilities are nearly endless and now the Gems you make are even more accessible. Google mentioned that Gems can be accessed via the side panel of all supported Workspace applications and can be used across Workspace capabilities including @ mentioning, accessing files and folders, and more. If you need to create a Gem, you’ll still need to do that on the Gemini website. To get started with Gemini in Google Workspace, just click the “Ask Gemini” (spark button) in the top-right corner. Google said that the Gems feature rollout is an extended rollout which means it might take more than 15 days to get the feature. Admins out there do not need to do anything and there are no specific admin controls in the side panel for Gems or Gemini.
    • Microsoft changes hit Teams Android devices: Disable Entra ID policy to restore sign-in by Paul Hill As part of its Secure Future Initiative, Microsoft has deployed a new Entra ID Conditional Access policy targeting Device Code Flow authentication. Unfortunately, it has led some Microsoft Teams-certified Android devices (Teams Rooms on Android, Teams Phones, Teams Panels, and Teams Displays) to be logged out and signing back in can be a bit fiddly so guidance has been shared. Microsoft said that it shared previous guidance which explained how to exclude Android devices, but it seems some admins didn’t catch this as many devices were not excluded and have been signed out. It’s important to realize that this is not a bug, it’s a security feature. However, the move could have been better communicated. To sign the devices back in, you can do so manually. However, if the devices are remote you’ll need to follow these steps: By disabling the “Block device code flow” policy in step 1, it will change everything back to how it was before Microsoft decided to enable it to boost security. This will allow you to get those affected Android devices logged back in again. Also pay special attention to step 2 which says you might need to reboot your device three times. Once you have your Android devices logged in again, it’s probably a good idea to follow Microsoft’s previous guidance and add these to an exclusion list before re-enabling the “Block device code flow” policy. Microsoft recommends only allowing DCF where it’s absolutely necessary and then blocking it elsewhere. The best thing to do is to add your Teams Android device to the exclusion list - this will allow these devices to operate normally, while boosting overall security. If you’re an admin and have been impacted by this, be sure to take proactive measures to avoid disruptions in the future.
