12 xp users LAN with router - static IPs better than automatic?A small business with 12 windows xp users share a DSL connection using a 4
port router & 2 switches. I feel their internet connection speed could be faster. Right now, each pc has an automatically assigned IP address. If I assigned each of them their own static seperate IP address (outside of the router's DHCP range), would it improve their internet & network speeds?

Like Steve said, DHCP doesn't impact the speed/performance once the
card gets an address. The only time DHCP presents delays is when you get an IP address lease at the beginning of your session. What can help things is if you set up a local caching DNS server (many routers already support this) which will help with name resolution. For network speed, look at how you have everything configured with your switches. Remember that all of the computers on a particular switch share the one link to the other switch. It helps to plan out how you want to connect these machines.

12 users on one entry level DSL connection? Depending on the type of activities and how many concurrent connections are active, it might be inherently slow. I.e consider a faster business connection. Otherwise check the TCP/IP parameters and if needed optimize each computer for DSL Connection.http://www.ezlan.net/Internet_Speed.html Jack (MVP-Networking).

My office is currently using a DSL connection for it's internet. Total Number of Users = 65. They don't want to pay for a T1 and there are no other alternatives that would be faster... :) -- Show quoteHide quoteJeffrey Randow jeffreycen***@gmail.com Windows Networking MVP 2001-2006 http://www.networkblog.net ..On Sun, 1 Oct 2006 16:06:54 -0400, "Jack \(MVP-Networking\)." <J***@discussiongroup.com> wrote: >Hi >12 users on one entry level DSL connection? >Depending on the type of activities and how many concurrent connections are >active, it might be inherently slow. >I.e consider a faster business connection. >Otherwise check the TCP/IP parameters and if needed optimize each computer >for DSL Connection.http://www.ezlan.net/Internet_Speed.html >Jack (MVP-Networking). > >"Ed B" <ezgoine***@yahoo.com> wrote in message >news:57ITg.6493$TV3.6306@newssvr21.news.prodigy.com... >>A small business with 12 windows xp users share a DSL connection using a 4 >>port router & 2 switches.
