Hi
After spending 20 odd hours tweaking my setup and battling VLAN problems, I've noticed a problem this morning....
I've exceeded my IP allocation, thou I don't even have 50 items, it appears that the DHCP server is occasionally allocating IP addresses to items that are listed in the static mappings, as such half of the active IP addresses are non existing IP addresses, but supposedly "Active"
Now I know that I can spend hours setting every device with a static IP address, but what is the point of a DHCP server then?
I also would be happy to pay for the web protection as all I need is to protect the kids, but I cannot find a basic price and the wife would leave me if I wanted to spend £1000s on a licence.
I have also noticed that there is a "Power Home User" but this is given out as a reward to people who help the communality, a positive step from Astaro but can you buy this?
I know that many people will say that 50 IP address is sufficient for a home network and I would agree, as long as the counting mechanism behind it works, but the people running Astaro arnt you typical "BT Home Hub" users....
But anyway, your feedback is appreciated.
Kind Regards
Dave
