It could be that your router only is able to assign a small number of IPs, either by a configuration choice, or it's hard-coded. If it's a hard-coded shortcoming, you'd be best to use something else as your DHCP server (such as one of your computers, or a new router). Or, to switch off DHCP, and let another protocol handle address assignment (ZeroConf, Bonjour, etc). -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.15.17-200.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Apr 12 18:28:26 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
