No internet access

[lusk]

Hi All,

Hoping that you can assist me here, please.

Draytek 2860 router
DHCP enabled. Start IP 192.168.2.240; IP pool counts 5, gateway ip 192.168.2.1

I have three windows machines; one is win 7, another is win 10 pro and the other is win 2011 server. If I assign a static IP address of say 192.168.2.15/16/17 to these machines, I get an error saying no internet access. If I then change the setting to allow DHCP to issue an IP, I get internet access.

I have now given these machines a static IP of 192.168.2.101/102/103 and they get internet access.

Any ideas here please?

My guess is you are not setting a default gateway and DNS server. Both of those also get set when DHCP is enabled. You need to set IP address, Net Mask, default gateway and DNS server manually. OR you can manually set the IP, mask and gateway, but let the adapter get the DNS server automatically.

I’ve set the gateway as 192.168.2.1 and the DNS server as Googles but still no internet connection.

open a command window (cmd.exe) run the ipconfig /all command and post the results.
