My office intranet uses a Windows Server 2003 server for exchange and DHCP hosting.
What I'd like to do is be able to pin selected users or computers (computers would be preferable and I think the only thing that could work right) to a specific external IP range. Supposing I have an external IP address range of 192.168.1.100-110, and I want my computer to be on 105, is it possible to do this within just Windows DHCP configuration?
have you tried just plugging the network information for your adapter on your machine? or do you want dhcp to assign your mac that address?
On my intranet, I get the IP address 172.something. I can't configure my local network adapter to have a specific external address. Besides, external addresses assigned by the ISP need to be assigned by *their* DHCP server to be recognized.
You can assign a specific address under TCP/IP options. This will turn off DHCP however. For a static address assigned by DHCP, you have to configure the router.
