Sadly it got some damage in transit which I am claiming for (it was insured). Hi all,So my server was being sent to the seller for repair under warranty (I raised a previous thread on this). Server physically damaged - should I write it off? Hardware.My gut tells me that even though the router network showed the switches, printer, etc showing static when the change was made were not really static on the router as shown? I will be back in a few days to check, but I'm scratching my head as to why hard wired Linux worked with DHCP, but then didn't. We did drop the gateway back to 192.168.1.1 and everything is working again. I have searched, Googled it, read the docs and can find no such statement. Verizon Actiontec specialist stated that Actiontec router must have a gateway of .1 for DHCP to work properly. Static either a Windows or Linux box, in the DHCP scope or out of it (.99 and below) and the connection was made. Disconnect the Linux box and it would not connect again even resetting the network adapter and not grab an IP or say here I am again. What really blew me away was a Linux box could grab an IP when a wired connection was made, work fine, see others, ping, etc. VOIP was still working just fine, WiFi (a given in my mind). I noticed all the switches were not showing as static now and missing except the Nortel switch was still at. Two days later, IP addresses on hard wired window machines were not getting IP addresses from DHCP on the router. VOIP ok too, the PBx is in the cloud so all the phones were functioning and getting IP addresses from the router, connecting, working. New IP addresses were being handed out at 101 + just fine. 4 for the upstairs switch, file server at. Everything seemed ok, static addresses on the router showed as on the network below the scope, such as the printer. When we switched off the DHCP server, we enabled Actiontec's builtin DHCP, left the gateway at 192.168.1.100, with a scope of 101 to 254. The T1 line piece of equipment was removed at 192.168.1.1. 53 with a scope 192.168.1.1/24, and some static IPs set, a couple printers, two POE managed switches, a Nortel specific switch for door opener, etc. Originally, the router's gateway was set at 192.168.1.100 with DHCP off.1 was a router to connect the VOIP phones in multiple buildings with a T1 line. The issue has been some what corrected because an Actiontec specific tech stated the gateway address of a router must end in a .1 for the router's DHCP to work correctly. This is probably more of me trying to work it out in my head as to what was/is going on. I've been assisting a non-profit in some networking reconfiguration.
