I have a Windows Home Server that has been purring along for several years. I use a static IP to allow me to access it remotely. I recently upgraded my router, and now I've lost all connectivity. I assume it was because the default gateway IP had changed.
My former TCP/IP entries with the old router that worked just fine:
IP address: 192.168.1.254
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
With my new router (IP as reported by Asus Discovery), I update the default gateway:
IP address: 192.168.1.254
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.50.1
I get the error message "Warning - The default gateway is not on the same network segment (subnet) that is defined by the IP address and subnet mask. Do you want to save this configuration?"
I'm many years removed from remembering how to properly configure a subnet mask, so asking for help in getting this resolved. I realize this is a noob question, so hopefully someone can show me where I'm messing up. Thanks in advance!
