Can't enable DMZplus after changing NICs
Hey all,
I've been using DMZplus mode fine for a year now. I've upgraded my hardware and have tried to enable DMZplus on the new machine but it complains that I can't enable, because the device is assigned a static IP address.
Under LAN>IP Address Allocation, only the first device (I believe the main AT&T Uverse box) says "Connected DHCP", all other devices are stuck on "Static IP - no DHCP", with no other options in the box.
I have a couple of questions:
- What happened to the router?? Has anyone else ran into this before? Sounds like the router's in a screwed up state not being able to change between static/dhcp for none but one device!
- If I reset my router to the factory default settings, will I need to configure it at all to reconnect?
Thanks in advance!
Aaron
(edit: router model is 2Wire 3800HGV-B)

If you do this, then yes, you will have to reconfigure all of your settings, including DMZPlus, wireless, firewall, etc.

Thanks for the reply - not worried about the settings; the 2Wire unit will just have the server in the DMZ plus the two Uverse boxes, my home network & wireless is connected via LAN to the 2Wire box so I can keep everything else firewalled.
My only concern is being able to reconnect after the reset; ie: if there is any configuration I need to do to reconnect broadband.
I'll give it a shot & see how it goes!

Worked perfectly, everything came back online as expected & my new machine now has my internet IP. Thanks again!
