I have a Netopia dsl modem. The modem feeds a 16 port switch, which feeds a wireless router.
This Netopia modem is a static ip modem.
My question is this:
Will the wireless router offer static IPs as well, or does the static IP stop at the modem? I mean can the modem and switch broadcast static IPs while the wireless router is broadcasting dynamic IPs?
Or, must the wireless router be static as well?
How would a roaming wireless device connect to a static IP without having to configure the pc for static IPs each time. I would think that just the WEP Encryption code would all one would need to connect to the network.
This Too. I am not trying to file share between PCs on the network. Print sharing, yes.
It is the internet connection sharing that is the most important function of this router I propose to use.
