Hi!
I’m having a weird issue while setting a static ip on my Windows 11 Desktop connected via ethernet, despite having done it for years without issue.
- I’m setting the static IP to 192.168.1.50 via network settings, along with the gateway and dns
- I will no longer be able to access any website via a browser
- However, I am still able to ping other devices on my network - and pinging www.google.com works
I read about, and see that you shouldn’t set an IP within the router’s DHCP range - which for me is uptil 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.253 (I cannot edit this, it’s an ISP router)
- I have tried a few different addresses that I know are not assigned to any other devices
- I had set 192.168.1.100 on my Raspberry Pi a few months ago, and that has been working without issue
- I noticed that if I set the IP on my Windows Desktop, the router will show the system - but with a different name - if it’s set to DHCP, then my router displays the correct device name.
The gateway and other settings are correct - and are the same I use on my Raspberry Pi.
Would appreciate any help!
Yes - it throws a message about insufficient privileges and won’t let me edit, absolutely insane that they block this.
