Title: ip address changing?
Post by: jangodoggy on May 26, 2015, 12:11:23 PM
Hello. my wife just had this message: "another is using the ip address 192.1...... try use another ip address or restart the computer" ?

Should i be concerned? Does the router switch ip addresses randomly or could it be someone trying to hack our network?  I recently updated
the firmware on my 868L to the latest firmware and after the update the only device that changed ip address was my diskstation nas.

  • Setup >DHCP (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=58017.0) reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. Setup/Networking. This ensures each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates IP address conflicts and helps in troubleshooting and maintain consistency for applications that need to connect as well as mapped drives.
  • Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address. You can set devices like NAS, printers, sensors and cameras to static IP addresses outside of the routers default IP address pool.

Super FurryNutz, i,ll do first thing tomorrow, thank you for allways great support:)
I'll get back if the problem isn't solved.

Can't post the image but in the routers menu under nework settings/setup 

DHCP SERVER SETTINGS

ENABLE DHCP SERVER is ticked on.
ADD DHCP RESERVATION  is not ticked.

Hope this help:)

Select the DHCP link in my earlier reply and that will show you information about reserving IP addresses...  ;D
