Do all computers need to be setup with a static IP w/ forwarding?
I have 3 computers behind a router, and they are all setup for a static ip in order to get all my ports forwarded. Only two of them run any sort of torrents.
My question is do all computers that want to connect to the router have to have a static ip? I ask because sometimes if people come over and want to connect they can't without setting up a static ip. Thaaaaaaanks. btw whats going on five? No members have liked this post.

Re: Do all computers need to be setup with a static IP w/ forwarding?
Toto,
Some routers allow to to have a setting of "DHCP plus manual". Then it will usually ask what range to assign the DHCP IPs from. So, you might put in 192.168.1.200. Then, you are allowed to assign manual (static) IPs in the 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.199 range and if someone tries to connect that doesn't have static set up, they will be given a random one above 192.168.1.200.

Re: Do all computers need to be setup with a static IP w/ forwarding?
what is the downside of having a static ip, i change mine to be static when i originnally forwarded my ports, and i havent noticed much of a difference (browser seems to be running a bit slower, but i think that's cause i got torrents downloading and uploading constantly). anyone know?

Re: Do all computers need to be setup with a static IP w/ forwarding?
there is no real downside, and it wont affect your speed. running torrents will.
