asked on 

where did that i p address come from??

hi,

I am using a linksys router.... It has an ip address of    192.168.1.1..... but a workstation on that lan.. .has an address i can not figure out.
It is set to a static   of    192.138.1.99, gateway   192.168.1.1, but the somputer has two ip addresses...if i do an IPConfig from the CMD prompt.....it tells me i am   192.168.0.99.... then it gives me my subnet, then it says on the next line...   ipaddress       192.168.1.99..

notice there are is an extra two lines visable when the ipconfig command is used....two ip addresses... and one uses a " 0    "      the other uses a "1"

how could that be...?

hi outlaw....

your on to something here...

My workstation has always had a static address.... and we just switched from a netgear, to a linksys router....the subnet mask ( correct me if my termonology is wrong) , which is same as the gateway, are different betweent e two routers. 192.168.1.1  & 192.168.0.1...perhaps we never deleted the previous static address.....
assuming i am correct, how woul dyou delete one of the two static IP address.?

Removing one IP address when you have multiple.
 
1.      Go to the Local Area Connection Properties
2.      Click on internet protocol (TCP/IP) and click properties
3.      Click on the Advanced button
4.      Select the IP address you want to remove and hit the remove button.
5.      Also click on the Default gateway you would like to remove and

I have attached a PDF with screenshots. :) Goodluck

DHCP
DHCP

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).
