Windows 7 wont allow correct static IP
7 windows wont let me set static IP on Laptop or desktop but it works fop all mobile devices. I have empty IPs. As in I want my laptop on 192.168.1.3 but it wont find and external IP and then when I do the winfix instead of giving it an exteranl IP address and keeping my 1.4 setting it sets it to 192.168.1.11. I don not want a buch of empty IPs. I want them in number order. So why does the ;aptop keep making it 192.168.1.11 when nothing is using 192.168.1.3 on the latop wireless and 192.168.1.4 on the laptop wired conection which is what I want. Wind0ze shouldnt be skipping a bunch of IPs at the lower level to use a higher one. Why would it pick 1.11? I dont even have 11 deviced. The highest IP that should be used is 192.168.1.8 and no high unless I get a new device.
Yesteday I had my desktop working on 192.168.1.2 but this morning I woke up with no internet connection. Did the winfix and it changed the IP from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.12. Again with the desktop why is it choosing a nuber that is so high. If I dont own 11 devices then that OBVIOUSLY means I dont own 12 deviced and dont need to go as high as 1.12. Again my IPs should not be higher that 1.8 for my 7 devices and the gatewas using 1.1. Gateway on 1.1 + 7 devices = 1.8
HOW can I set it so the desktop LAN is 1.2 and the LAptop is 1.4 on the wireless and 1.3 on the wired if I plug it in and not have windows change the IPs to what it tthinks is best.
Ive been fighting with this for over 18 hours now. ALmosta full day.
