==== 4.2 Choosing a Static IP ==== <gallery mode="packed-hover" heights=250 widths=400 perrow=2> File:lu55028jxc7f_tmp_44432cac.png File:lu55028jxc7f_tmp_feed77f5.png File:lu55028jxc7f_tmp_93f4316.png File:lu55028jxc7f_tmp_bda461e0.png File:lu55028jxc7f_tmp_4d5798a7.png File:lu55028jxc7f_tmp_c59fcb59.png </gallery> For my servers, I pick an IP between 192.168.5.2 and 192.168.5.14. This ensures no one else can sneakily take my server’s IP while it’s rebooting. # In your '''pfSense''' router, go to '''Services > DHCP Server'''. # Understand your subnet. For example, <code>192.168.5.0/24</code> covers IPs from <code>192.168.5.1</code> to <code>192.168.5.254</code> # Your router’s IP is typically <code>192.168.5.1</code>. We can’t use that. Since we made the address DHCP pool range <code>192.168.5.15</code> <code>192.168.5.245</code>, this means that we have <code>192.168.5.2</code> through <code>192.168.5.14</code> free – no computer connecting with DHCP (which is the default for 99.9999% of all network devices in your home) will be using these, so they’re free for the taking. # Choose the network interface that’s connected (usually the one that has already received an IP via DHCP). # Change the configuration from DHCP to Manual: * '''IP Address:''' Choose an address outside your DHCP pool (e.g., <code>192.168.5.2</code>) * '''Subnet:''' Usually <code>255.255.255.0</code> (or /24 in CIDR notation) * '''Gateway:''' Your router’s IP (e.g., <code>192.168.5.1</code>) * '''Name servers:''' Use your router’s IP as the DNS server '''''Please note: if you skip step 4 by choosing Continue without network, you not be able to set up your internet connection later.''''' <span id="prepare-the-drives"></span>
