Win7 Won't Take Assigned DHCP IP
On my router, I have DHCP assign IPs to the various computers/devices on my network. For example, a laptop is 192.168.1.103, and my server is 192.168.1.102.
I've tried assigning 192.168.1.101 to my Win7 box, but it keeps coming back with 192.168.1.20. I recently reinstalled Windows7 (for a separate issue), and I'm still getting x.x.x.20.
The router assigns this IP via the NIC's MAC ADDRESS. When I check to see what devices are attatched to my router, my router shows the Win7 PC with the .20 IP.
All other nodes (Game consoles, Linux, Mac, WinXP) seem to accept the IP assigned by the router. Why won't my Win7 box?
I have a Netgear WNDR3700, and the Win7 box is hooked directly to the router.
