Hello! I got sick of using Hamachi and am trying to set up a port forward for a minecraft server.
My main issue is the question in the title of this post:
When multiple devices are on a single network, can one be static while the others are dynamic?
Router: Netgear R6300
The devices regularly connected to my router are :
2 Desktop Computers
2 Laptops
PlayStation 4
Xbox One
Xbox 360
2 Nintendo 3DS
6 Cell phones
Any devices that belong to guests when they come over.
I know there is a range from which a router chooses an ip address to give to a device that is connecting, but is it possible to give a computer a static address that is outside of that range so there is no chance of the router giving the address of the computer with the static ip to another device?
If every device connected would need its own static ip address, then I'm not even going to bother.
