Solved! LAN ip address computer name will not be shown when assigned static ip address

[zillah2004]

Dear folk



My home network setup is LinkSys router WRT1900ACS with mobiles and desktop computers connected wireless and wired



For my desktop if an ip assigned automatically router shows the desktop’s name as per the snapshot below :

If the static ip address assigned router shows asterisk as per below :

How the name can be shown when static ip assigned ?



Thanks

easiest way would be a Static DHCP reservation. Use the MAC of the thermaltake pc and tell the router to reserve an address for it. PC configured as DHCP address, but will get the same one everytime.
