Virign Super Hub 2 static IP problem - 27/07/2014 18:22
I've just got one of these and I'm having problems assigning a static IP address to one of my machines.
I can configure it locally (using either Mint or Win7 as it's dual boot) and it appears that I have the correct IP address. Ipconfig/ifconfig on the local machine show the correct IP address and the management screen of the router show the correct one as being attached but I get no internet access.
I've also tried reserving an IP address on the router but whenever I try to connect again, the router ignores the IP address that I've reserved, gives it a normal DHCP one and deletes the reservation.
Any ideas? I might try a combination of both (i.e. set a static IP on the local machine and reserve that same IP on the router) but that would seem a bit daft if that is the only way to get it to work.
