Remote SSH Connection Help!

You can configure Static IP, or if your router allows it , you can set up the DHCP server to associate the MAC from your father's PC to an internal IP address. So each time your father's PC makes a DHCP request it will receive the same IP.

In that way your father's PC's configuration won't change, it will keep receiving gateway and DNS configuration through DHCP, making the network easier to mantain.

So if one of the other devices comes online with a MAC different than his it will be assigned an IP other than the one reserved for him? I will have to look into that. Do you happen to know where that is located for Linksys routers?

Which model of Linksys do you have?

Not sure but I got it all working and it did have the DHCP Reservation setting which I used to reserve the IP for his MAC. Everything is working perfectly now. It has made things much easier using this remote desktop capability than using Windows Remote Assistance.
