vista keeps changing ip address of printer
Hi
I have vista business and a HPc6180 printer, the network printer port is 192.168.1.5 but the vista machine keeps changing the setting to 192.168.1.3 and so the printer will not work and I must manually change the setting. My XP machines all work fine. Thoughts please Ray

My XP machines all work fine. If this is a true network printer (not locally connected to a computer) then assign it a static IP address outside the range of DHCP addresses being handed out by the DHCP server (usually a router). IOW, if the DHCP range is 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.99, make the printer 192.168.1.200. This has nothing to do with any operating systems.
