This was at the time when I was testing the TayLUG website on my home server and I was having port forwarding problems with the first router. The consequence of changing routers meant that I had to change the IP settings on the DNS server to properly point to the TayLUG website on my home server.<br> <br>Gordon <br></div></div><br> </blockquote><br></div><div>unless it's on a static IP (which is unlikely since Gordon's not mentioned it), then it's entirely likely that a new address would be given out if there was any time between the release and the renew, and if the new router had a different MAC address.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>It's DHCP, innit.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Iain</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><br></body></html>
