Yesterday the nice gentleman from MIH came to see me and activated my connection for Deutsche Glasfaser. He had to leave briefly to unpatch something at the control center, but his measuring devices apparently showed GO. He even connected my own Fritzbox 5530 and told me to just wait an hour and then everything should…
The tax return via app asks whether there are any telephone/internet costs for work. I gave my prepaid mobile phone costs for internet and phone calls, as I need both for work because of a work app and also calls. However, it stated additional internet costs, so I gave my home internet contract as I…
I keep getting some kind of virus warning that my Mac has a virus (I use Windows). This crap won't go away and keeps popping up. Neither Windows Defender nor F-Secure finds any malware, and uBlock Origin doesn't block anything either. How do I get rid of this snot?
Hello, can I also play games available on Epic Games or Origin with the Steam Link Box? As long as it supports controllers and I add it to the Steam library, it should work, right? Lg
I have a 240Hz curved monitor, and when I change the refresh rate setting to 240Hz, the screen flickers slightly in games. I read that you should simply lower the refresh rate, so I did that, and everything works fine at 60Hz, but I specifically bought a 240Hz monitor so I can play at higher…

When manually changing the IP address, you cannot simply enter any numbers. IP addresses must follow certain rules and should be within a range valid for your network. Here are some important points that you should note:
If you want to change your IP address manually, you should call the network settings of your operating system and make the corresponding settings there. In Windows, this happens via the “network and release center”, in macOS via the “system settings” and then “network”. You should also consider consulting a network administrator to ensure that your changes do not cause problems in the network.
If you don’t know what you do, leave it on automatically.
This is the local IP address assignment, either you can assign a fixed IP to your device in the home network (in the same network segment, you understand) or leave it to the DHCP server to automatically assign the address to the device, by the way, the latter takes over your Fritz!BOX or the device that provides you with your internet provider.
This IP only applies to the home network, has nothing to do with the IP that you see from “draussen” (=Internet). And of course you cannot enter any address there.
What do you want to achieve with a manual input? “Automatically” means that your router automatically gives you a home network IP.
I want to change her, that’s all. I want a new ip address
What a new IP address? This is the address where your device can be accessed in the local network – no longer. IPv4 is not routed to the outside. Outside your local network, the IP does not know anyone.
Nevertheless, if you want to manually assign the IP, it must come from the network area of your router and be an address that the router does NOT have in its DHCP address pool.
Example for a Fritzbox with default settings: The router uses the 192.168.178.001 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
The router’s DHCP server is distributed, for example, from 192.168.178.10 to 192.168.178.200.(here in the router, check which addresses are precisely defined!)
You can then use any address between 192.168.178.002 to 192.168.178.009 and 192.168.178.201 to 192.168.178.254, so that there are no collisions.
And as you see, all addresses begin with 192.168.178. This is the network component of the IP. Only the last three digits (usable from 1 to 254) differ from device to device and identify the terminal within the own network.
As stated, your computer IP has nothing to do with the IP visible on the Internet, which the provider gives, since you have no influence. If you can restart the router, you will usually receive a new IP. But has nothing to do with your entry in the computer.
The “dumme employee” has access to the router settings?, How, where else it should have made a restriction.
I have put a new ip on an app limitations by stupid employees and certainly fixes it. hope your curiosity is still
No, the number must follow a certain pattern. There are different, it depends on your used network. In addition, you will pass the DHCP, which is somehow stupid. If you want to change it, I’d change it firmly in the router. In this case, the setting remained automatically at the client. This also prevents you from getting your address because it has already been assigned to another device.
In addition, the address is only valid in the network behind the router. A different address is used on the Internet.
No, leave on automatic.
