Okay, so far I follow you. You have a main network. The Gateway is at 10.0.0.1, presumably that is also where the router/dhcp server lives? Is this the network where your PC is on? > > But the deice I have has a preset from the factory static IP 192.168.0.1 > If they set it to anything else like 192.168.0.10 or 192.168.0.100 it > would be easy. I agree. > I could set my gateway to 192.168.0.1 and DHCP pool range to > 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.100 and it would work. So hold on a second. I am lost. Are you dealing with a second separate network? What kind of device are you speaking of? If you set the gateway to 192.168.0.1 doesn't it conflict with the device? > > When I try to set my gateway to 192.168.0.0 my DHCP pool range > 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.100 doesn't work. > uh... I am pretty sure octet 0 is reserved for the last word? I.e. valid IP addresses run from *.*.*.1 to *.*.*.254? 192.168.0.0 refers actually to the network and not any particular machines, and 192.168.0.255 is the broadcast address for the 192.168.0.0 network.... Can't you move the gateway to something like 192.168.0.254 with the DHCP range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.180? Since you have a device hardcoded to be 192.168.0.1 you should leave it out of the DHCP range. Unless, of course, I am completely misunderstanding your post. If that is the case, post an ascii diagram or something of what the network looks like. W -- Black holes are where God divided by zero.
