    Static IP, Host Names and Name resolution for LAN devices - What is best practice ?

    You already have an answer to your question, in the good explanation at https://serverfault.com/questions/368512/can-i-have-multiple-dhcp-servers-on-one-network. Once you start segregatting devices and computers into seperate IP ranges and such, you are a small step away from VLANS. The VLANS...

    Static IP, Host Names and Name resolution for LAN devices - What is best practice ?

    Yes to Q1 -- Yes sort your devices into discrete IP ranges. It makes management much simpler. Yes to Q2 -- for a small home network it would default to workgroup. Solution for third issue is to use DHCP (and DNS) from PiHole, rather than the main router. The main router will have its DHCP...

    Netflix crackdown is coming

    Ah the advantages of cloud service over CD/DVD/Bluray/Plex/Jellyfin :). Not to forget the rental libraries, where you pay only for what you watch and when you watch it.

    PiHole should be a must

    If you go for proxmox route (openwrt x86 on proxmox) with a smart switch or multiple lan cards and you dont need vlans (multiple networks) on the AX wifi router it is not an issue at all. The wifi will all become dumb **access points** . Vlan functionality is required with oem firmware or...

    PiHole should be a must

    If we spend enough time on TE, we keep getting more and more ideas for tinkering with our home networks. While SBC like raspberry pi or some openwrt router can run an ad-blocker, vpn etc.., these tasks can be very ram intensive (pihole) or cpu intesive (vpn). We can also soon out-grow the...

    WTB Beginner's PC

    Would recommend you get a system which atleast supports latest Operating System like win 11. An AMD AM4 platform can get you started cheap with athlon 3000 while having plenty of headroom for upgrading and/or graphics card for gaming later. Do select a B450 or B550 motherboard since it will have...

    Thanks for the tip. The card is intended for plex/jellyfin transcoding (on an old secondary machine) and not gaming though. Want the cheapest solution for H264 NVENC @ 1080p. I mostly play slow strategy games at 1080p which even the onboard graphics have no problem with, but I use a GTX 1060...

    Wanted some clarification on IP configuration

    @Pricklywhale_60 You need to study and have clear understanding of subneting / subnet mask and what are considered private IP's. https://community.spiceworks.com/networking/articles/2491-how-to-calculate-a-subnet-mask
