Re: Help setting up Networking Server
As far as the DHCP aspect is concerned, you can mix and match quite successfully. Let me give you an example to make it clearer. Let's assume your router DHCP server is handing out IP addresses from the range 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.255
If you set a NAS box (or any other PC) to a fixed IP *within* that range, and providing that IP is not in use already then the router should accept it and allow the connection.
I have a home network running a mix of fixed and dynamic IPs, which works perfectly through my D-Link router.

HTH.
