Console Losing Static IP on Restart

[quote user="Jersey Steve"]I should mention that I've created a work around for this by logging into my router and setting up my console's MAC address to have a reserved IP and then leaving the console set on DCHP.[/quote]DHCP reservation is
actually not a work around, but a more preferable method, to exclude the possibility of IP conflict. This feature is not mandatory, so far from every manufacture choose to implement this as an option.

Just make sure you reserve a unique IP address that is outside of the dynamically range of the DHCP server. If this is not pre-configured on your router, you can alter the range manually by going in to your router's web-utility interface, DHCP Server and limiting
the IP pool range, ending address.

For example:

IP pool starting address: 192.168.1.2

IP pool ending address: 192.168.1.100

Now, reserv an address outside of the dynamically range. For example, 192.168.1.200

Also, make sure your console obtain the reserved address.

Appreciate if you could post up the make and model of your router and your modem as well

Modem/Router is a Cisco DPC3939 (aka the Xfinity XB3)

Just to clarify, can you detailing out what you refer to as, "hard restart", of your console.

Holding down the power button until the console shuts completely down.

Can you also detailing out how you've manually configured your console, as your router, for network ports used by Xbox LIVE to be forwarded.

I went into the routers page for port forwarding and forwarded each individual port listed on

this page to my static IP for my console.


I should mention that I've created a work around for this by logging into my router and setting up my console's MAC address to have a reserved IP and then leaving the console set on DCHP. That doesn't really tell me why it was dropping the static
info I had in the console, but it's at least solved my problem.

Greetings Jersey!

[quote user="Jersey Steve"]This only effects the IP settings, DNS settings stay the same.[/quote]If you don't assign a public DNS server for your console, to resolve IP addresses, then your console will be assigned the very same address for the primary DNS
server as the DHCP server informs your console dynamically.

Thank you!

Esta usando ip estatico? tente reiniciar o console como o usuario acima descreveu, tb tente reiniciar seu roteador.

Is this using static IP? Try restarting the console as the user described above, TB try restarting your router.

After creating a static IP and port forwarding to that static ip. Go to your Xbox ONE go to Settings>Network>Advanced Settings>Alternate MAC Address>Clear>Restart ......this will restart the console and when it fires back up you should have an open NAT.
These are the steps I took to open mine up anyway. Hope this helps.
