Setting manual IP for 12 systems

[armantaxi]

Hey there

I'm in trouble with setting manual IP for 12 computers in my office.
They are connected to a 16-port Gigabit Switch.
I attached a cable from the router (Before doing this, internet connection was on wifi).

Formerly, through the cable connection, Gateway was at 192.168.1.1, and the IPs were from 192.168.1.10 to 22). And there was no problem.

Now I attached a cable from the router to have one connection at each PC for both Internet and File sharing.

But I can't set manual IP for each computer. It works just with Automatic IP.

When I set an IP ex; 192.168.0.10 and the gateway 192.168.0.1 network connection won't work (both file and Internet)
When I use for ex; 192.168.1.10 and Gateway; 192.168.1.1 again it doesn't work.

By the Automatic IPs it works for some PCs and for some results IP conflict (need restart to solve)

I am completely confused and don't now what to do to have a stable LAN Network.

Any help will be appreciated.

You might want to try using DHCP and setting a reservation for each of the MAC addresses on the Router. This way each PC will always get the same IP and all of the other parameters (DNS, gateway etc.) will always be correct.

Are you using the command prompt and ifconfig/all to determine the existing automatically assigned IP address first? And then reassigning that address manually to the computer? If you randomly just pick one in the range it might easily be assigned automatically to another computer and that will not work.

Would you tell me how to do this. I am novice in Networking.

It's a TP-Link router

I try with CMD and tell you the result.

Thanks for the tip. The gateway was 192.168.0.254, and it solved the problem.
