Due to some fiddling about I was doing with my network I had to fix the IP on the Controller once and I did that by turning off DHCP in the Router. The controller did not get an IP and I was presented with a menu that asked me if I wanted to set an IP manually. It asked for the IP, subnet mask, gateway IP and DNS server IP.
One of my Receivers was "fixed" using Net:UDAP and the other using the factory reset without DHCP - the latter being the much quicker and easier option. Both work fine and both have retained their fixed IPs. On that basis I guessed the "no DHCP" trick was now working predictably. Seems I guessed wrong! Not sure what you mean about the DNS never being populated. When it asks me for the DNS address I put in the IP of my Router and that works fine. I have to do this as my ISP requires me to leave the DNS server choice in the Router on "automatic". -- TheLastMan Matt *SqueezeBoxes:* SB Duet (Controller + two receivers) *Server:* Synology Diskstation 107+ NAS (with firmware 2.3-1157) running Squeezebox Server 7.5.0 on Synology Package Manager *Network:* Netgear DG834GT ADSL modem/router, 2 x Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 as access points *Livingroom:* Receiver into Naim 42/110 amp, B&W CM2 speakers *Kitchen:* Receiver into Denon DM37 mini-system, B&W 686 speakers *Study:* Linn LP12, Naim 72/Hi-cap/Headline.
