Hostnames and IP changes

Post by thunderdust »

Hi,
I'm new to Gargoyle and absolutely loving it. I have a question about hostnames and IP addresses:

SITUATION
In CONNECTION --> DHCP, as my devices connected to the router, I renamed the computers/tablets/etc to a new hostname and gave them assigned IP addresses. They eventually switched over to the new designated IP addresses, however, under STATUS --> B/W Distribution & Bandwidth Usage, I'm finding that the old IP addresses are still listed, and old hostnames are still there.

QUESTION
I was wondering how to erase the old IP addresses and old hostnames that are still listed but not in use anymore. I want to only see the current devices/IP addresses, and not the old information from those devices. I am willing to delete the bandwidth data and start fresh, I'm just hoping to not have to setup the router from scratch again, like re-inputting the new hostnames, IP addresses, etc.

I hope my question made sense. I looked at other posts, and I think people have been asking similar questions, but I don't quite understand if their question & solution is the same as mine. It's hard to describe in proper words, so I don't want to mess it up. Thanks so much! :D I love gargoyle!

Ha! Thanks. Now I feel stupid. I read other posts that seemed to imply that wouldn't solve the problem. I stand corrected.

Problem solved! It worked :)
