IP address reservations fail to be assigned to PC
My media / security camera server has a reserved IP address of 192.168.1.100 assigned in the port forwarding configuration of my Xfinity (Arris TG4482A) gateway to enable remote access to the server. It has worked properly for years until today. The PC is now getting a DHCP-assigned address (192.168.1.140) instead of its reserved IP address. I would normally just use a static IP for port forwarding, but the Xfinity gateway doesn't support that, requiring address reservation from within the DHCP address pool.

Hey there evantl1, you're correct about not providing static IP's to our residential services, however; I'd still like to work with you. I want to make sure we're on the same page and ask a few clarifying questions. Are you able to confirm your port forward settings? Also, has anything changed in the home before this issue began?
