How to have SonicWALL give me a static IP without setting a static IP on my computer

[dturner0528]

Alright, this is a bit of an odd question, so bear with me.
I am a computer technician who does work for several companies. I have a work laptop that I bring with me from client to client. I do not have a static Wireless IP set, because I'd have to change the IP every time I go to a different client.
Therein lies my problem.
Is there a way to set in a SonicWALL TZ-205 a certain MAC address (or some other identifying factor) to ALWAYS have the same IP address? So If I just walked in the door of this client, and my laptop picked up the wireless signal, it would ALWAYS give me the same IP address? I'd like to add said IP address to the content filter exemption list, so I'm not always having to change my IP whenever I get to this client's location so I can bypass their SonicWALL firewall (they block EVERYTHING).
Or, alternatively, is there a way to make a MAC address an 'exception'?

Download IP change easy. its a free program that will change your ip settings for you. I use it on my laptop as I float around to many different companies for it work. Just set up a static network setting profile for each company in the software and when you get there just click the profile and it will set everything up for you.


Make sure that they have a static range already setup in there system so nobody else will take that ip address. Say you exempt ip address 192.168.1.100 on the somicwall but its not in the static range, then someone unknowingly could get that ip address and have full range to the internet. Every company I go to we set up a small range that is static for server, printers, & network switches. I normally grab the very last ip out of that range for my IP so I don't have to worry about finding an IP address every time I show up.
