That does make sense , cool , so filling out both lists with the same info was not a bad thing to do then .
As most of my equipment has been set to be a fixed IP ,apart from the Laptops that get used elsewhere
The DHCP fixed host was also a good way to allow a Lappy to be a normal DHCP client elsewhere on ANY IP address ,but fix it whilst at home to an IP so I could give it a port in the " Virtual Server " allowing it to do BITLORD downloads via it's own port number.
What an exceptional router , I can see why it gets such good reviews.
