I believe the use of .1 for the gateway is a convention (not required). Non-commercial routers with integrated dhcp often use .100 and up for dynamic addresses. This means you can use lower numbers for static devices without fear of duplication. I like to use .16 for printers (p is the 16th letter of the alphabet) .20 for cameras (think 20/20 vision) .80 for web server, etc. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
