Take note of the Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and the DNS Servers. In the box that opens type ipconfig /all and press Enter on your keyboard. Within the server click Start, Run and type CMD If in the router the DHCP Server IP addresses’ are assigned 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150 then we can use any IP address from 192.168.1.151 to 192.168.1.255 for the static IP address as these will still be in the subnet but not in the DHCP scope. Static IP on WHS: First we need to choose an IP address.
#Windows home server 2011 static ip windows
If like many routers yours does not support this feature then we need to setup a static IP on the Windows Home server instead.
#Windows home server 2011 static ip mac
The MAC address can be obtained by typing IPCONFIG /ALL at a command prompt from within the Windows Home Server. This means entering the MAC address from the network card in the WHS, into the router and assigning it a static IP address then whenever the WHS is restarted it will always have that same address.
Static DHCP: If your router can do it, we can tell it to reserve an IP address for your server from within DHCP. We can either setup a static IP via the router which is known as Static DHCP or we can setup a static IP on the Windows Home Server. To get around this issue there are two options we can undertake. When this happens the ports would no longer be forwarded to your server’s IP address and port forwarding would no longer work. Whilst this would work when you initially set it up, after restarting your WHS it would most probably get a different IP address. If you have installed additional applications on Windows Home Server you would have setup port forwarding which enables your router to forward ports to the server’s IP address that you specified.
