This should work like this  :)
With such design, your cable modem will not act as a router and Zentyal external interface will get an IP in the 69.14.x.x range (or whatever provided by WideOpenWest)

Yes it seems to be working, I set the wireless router to bridge mode

Now to just configure the DHCP with reserved address.

Thank you sooo very much for your help you are awesome

So The network is working great, Zentyal is assigning address like a charm.

Here is where I am confused.

I set up a DHCP Range of 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.244

This is where I want the DHCP to work in for my guests.

Now I would like to do is set up some clients with DHCP Reserved (or fixed address) in the 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.99 range

So as I understand it...and realistically I don't  ;-)

You create a network object, let's say Laptop1

and then you add members to this object, example Wifi and Lan

You can add MAC address and the IP address to these members.

And that's it?? Right??

Cause when I do this Zentyal still assigns address in the 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.244 range.  I have restarted DHCP and done a ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew on the laptop.  Still assigned the same address in the above mention range.

Any ideas?

when you look at IP address associated with lease you obtain for this device, does it match what you set at object level?
BTW, your understanding of reserved IP for DHCP looks correct  8)

No it does not match, I created an object, Kevin Netbook, and added the wifi and lan mac address as members with the ip address 192.168.1.4 for the wifi, however when I connect to wifi, I get assigned the address 192.168.1.149.  so it would seem that the DHCP Reservation does not work

I suppose my question was not clear, sorry.
When IP address is assigned within DHCP range, you can look at MAC address associated to this device. Is this MAC address matching what you defined in your static object?

Yes, the MAC Address in the DHCP Lease widget matches the MAC Address of the Network Object Member

Strange... are you sure you did not forget to add this "object" as the one to be associated with fixed adresses in DHCP section?

yes but there is one additional step missing here (at least for what I understand from your process):
- in DHCP options section for this interface, you have to select the object describing devices that will receive such fixed addresses.
Creating and populating the object is not enough  8) if link between such object and DHCP associated to your interface is not described somewhere.

yes, I created the object and then added the members, then I clicked DHCP and then chose the object in the fixed address section and it worked, Thank you
