Hi Everyone, My name is Phil. I am currently taking a networking class for my computer system managment degree. In our class we are supposed to go and find forums in the IT catagory so that is why I am here. I am supposed to ask a question to the forum also. Here is my question. This is a recent problem I had setting up a POS system for a new resturant. I have also had this problem in the past. The network I was installing the system on to was a DHCP Network. The POS's were setup manually configured with a static IP address. In the router that was acting as the DHCP Server I configured static leases. This was a 2 station POS. Once I got the router configured correctly the 2 stations could talk to each other but they were unable to browse to the web, but once I changed them from manual configuration to DHCP there were able to. My question is why can they not get to the internet when they are manually configure but they can when they are DHCP. I have had this same problem in the past on the network were I work. If the discription of the system doesnt make sense or you have question let me know
Thanks Phil.
