Static Ip problems

[gtsolid]

hello
in order to avoid internet navigation in my little LAN, i gave static IP and subnet mask, keeping white DNS server and gateway.

here some screen before/after tuning
Dynamic IP: http://i.imgur.com/ZgiZv5G.png
Static IP: http://i.imgur.com/RI0ToZ1.png

i don't know why the PC has become very slow in opening printing properties of our LAN printer and in desconnecting after closing windows.

what is the meaning in your opinion?

Address resolution within your LAN is very fast and should make negligible difference. The only thing I would check is, is DNS server responding very slowly.

hi jsmithepa

Address resolution within your LAN is very fast

how can you say this?

The only thing I would check is, is DNS server responding very slowly.

how can i test?

20 years in the biz.

Unless you got some other LAN problems.

how can i test?

1. PING
2. Use another DNS server. People always mentioning Google's 8.8.8.8.

i think that the slowness is between client and printer, not between client and server.
if i use 8.8.8.8 does the user will be able to navigate on internet?

A printer is relatively, a VERY slow device. I highly doubt this is any networking issue, UNLESS it's being saturated by something else going on in there and printing tasks are usually ran low-priority anyways. Printing though, use memory, buffers, so if you are short on those, THAT maybe the issue.

Normally,

You hit PRINT, and the desktop should quickly dump whatever it needs into the printer's buffer, wherever is configured to be, and come back, it should not wait for the printer to finish printing. If this buffer is full, then oh well, it tells you PC, "hold it, I got nowhere to put this stuff you are dumping me, so I have to put you on hold until the buffer empties before I can get more stuff from you - WAIT." and then you get the hour-glass, the beach ball, etc.

You probably already knew these stuff.

thank you for explanation. but my problem is that, when i've dynamic IP, all is fast. but when i put static IP, all is slow (45 min to print). tomorrow i will try to insert DNS google address.
i've also big differences in time when shutting down the PC

Should not make any difference, specially if this is a LAN printer. If you are printing across the Internet, that's a whole other ball of wax.
