Setting up a static IP address

[grimreeper132]

I want to give a server a static IP address, cause I can, I have found out how to do it, but am wondering what I put for the default gateway and the DNS server, are the values of these just the IP address for the main router??? Or is it another value that is used??? Guessing in my case it's the IP of the router, but I just want to make sure.

use the dhcp and look at the addresses that it gets, then use them back int the static settings

If you're in Windows, open command prompt and type in "ipconfig /all" without quotes and get your subnet, gateway, and DNS numbers from here. Type that info into their lines when setting your static IP. You could also just let them obtain the DNS server IPs automatically.

that's pretty much the simplest way of doing things.

 

i distribute static IP addresses trough rules saved on my DHCP server, because it's convenient

I don't blame you, they can be major pains in the arse, what kind of rule is it UPnP, port forwarding or something else (looks like those are the only two my router does)

Default gateway would be the router. The DNS you can do two ways. One you can use your routers address. OR you could specify the DNS server address.
