Peter,

Essentially my router does the same. You can set a range of addresses
that it will dynamically assign to the LAN connected devices. You can
also specify static IP addresses for specific devices. Trouble was that,
with my computer set to a static address, the router did not recognize
it and I could not use my DSL through the router for this computer. The
router instructions default to a setup where it dynamically assigns IP
addresses to each device. I was having trouble with JunkSky using a
dynamic address, so I wanted to set the computer to a static address. As
I said, above, the router allows for that possibility. It just did not
work for me.

Using info from Sandy Shapiro, I reconfigured my TCPIP to a DHCP dynamic
address. The router still does not register the computer, but DSL now
works on it. Go figure. Interestingly, JunkSpy still works, too.
