OK, Have a printer that was manually setup to use 192.168.1.104. Worked fine but then we have more than 4 PCs on the network so it assigned that IP to a laptop.
I decided to change the IP to x.130. I went into the Linksys WRT110 router we have and used the DHCP Reservation (assuming this is for setting up a static IP). Input the MAC, input the 103 IP, gave it a name, and saved the changes. Setup the printer to Automatic instead of manual. Power cycled each thing...
WHen I checked the Printer Network settings, it was pulling a 169.x.x.x address for some reason. Double checked everything and it was all correct. So, I decided to just manually type in the x.130 into the printer and set it that way.
Now what happens is when I try to Ping 192.168.1.130, it says:
Pinging 192.168.1.130 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.104: Destination host unreachable.
For some reason it's going back to the 104 address that it had before.
I went back into the router and deleted the DHCP Reservation thing so it's just normal but it's still doing the same thing.
I also did an ipconfig /flushdns on my PC and released and renewed to make sure that wasn't part of the problem.
I can't figure out why it's doing this so looking for advice.
Thanks.
