I'm a noob here so bear with me I have a static IP but I simply checked the DHCP box and my router is also setup as such and viola..all I know just tossing it out there...anyway ie that was my noob solution to this ..er also my router allows me to lock an IP like the 192.1xx.x.106 etc to my miner also have a standard dlink dir-615 cheap unit with built in wireless...anyway was my noob solution
Exactly. That is DHCP reservation. From the miners point of view it is getting assigned a "dynamic" IP address so it boots up and asks the router "what is my IP address" however the router has been configured to always give the same IP address (in this case 192.168.0.106) to only that device.
