Hi Hazno,

You don't necessarily need to reconfigure your Home router to assign a static IP address to your machine, unless the DHCP server in the router has specific rules in place to prevent it (unlikely in a home router DHCP server service). In regards to the DHCP scope, you can simply use the same IP that has been assigned to your machine by DHCP; that IP is already in the lease scope.

From Terminal:

Code:

ifconfig | grep 'Bcast'

The response should give you something similar to:

inet addr:192.168.1.122  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

inet addr:192.168.1.122 is the IP address assigned by DHCP. Use it as the static IP for your machine when following Jerry's recommendation.
