need same ip address when device connects to router, everytime.

[stuartrozier]

Hello,

in a little more detail,

no always, but, sometimes when my computer boots up, and connects to virgin router, the IP address sometimes changes from 192.168.0.3 to 192.168.0.4 or 5 ...

think I read somewhere that this is something to do with a lease of the device's IP address or something, is their a way to make it, so that it has the same IP, everytime it connects to the router ...

but not just my pc, all other device's too,

many thanks in advance,

Stuart

P.S. could it also have something to do with IP filtering ? found this option on my virgin hub.

You can manually set up static IP's by following the guide in the link. Just be sure and use your own gateway IP of 192.168.0.1 rather than the gateway showing which relates to a Belkin router.

I'm not sure of the settings on the Virgin router but if you can find a DHCP reservation setting it's easier to set up the static IP's from there for each device in your network.
