Re: Win2000 Static IP Problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

If i put a static IP in the machine, it acts like it has NO gateway.
Even though I can ping the gateway, ping my DNS server, ping anything
locally, it will NOT ping anything beyond the gateway. It acts just
like a machine that you didn't put a gateway in. I have verified that
the gateway is there, but still nothing. My gateway is 10.254.38.249.
I can ping it and anything on the network, but I can not ping anything
else. If I turn up a DHCP server and then set either of the two
machines to obtain automatically, they work perfectly. I don't
normally run DHCP as we have several other pieces of equipment that are
not, shal we say, DHCP friendly. It creates several other issues on
the network when the DHCP is active. Can you think of any reason a
machine would not use a gateway even when it is configured?

Thanks again for your time and effort.
Wally
