Interesting outcome but whats static IP and how is it implemented?
Thanks for the resolution.
As a first stop I always suggest rebooting the router and when fully rebooted the misbehaving kit.
Google reserving a IP address to a device MAC address using a -----The make and model of your router.
Yon can find the mac address of your box - Home settings - System Information - Network Info.
Great help from all.
Thanks but I will leave as is because I don't have the knowledge to go further!
That is extremely shrewd.
In this case a little knowledge can be dangerous. You won't destroy things but things can stop working and sods law says that you can't remember how to get it back like it was.
If it ain't broke, then don't fix it.

This saying is so true
On my Netgear router it's very easy...
1) Power up the device for which the address is to be reserved.
2) Log in to router.
3) Choose ADVANCED/SETUP/LAN SETUP.
4) Under Address Reservation choose ADD.
5) Select the address you want to make permanent (make certain it's the device in (1) above.
6) Log off the router, all done.
Most other routers I have encountered are very similar.
