1. Use a SB, SB2, SB3/Classic, Transporter, or Boom. All of them have
simple menus for configuring static IPs right on the player menus. No
shutting off the device, no ssh, no third party nothing.
2. If you are in "using the squeezebox in the business world" (whatever
you mean by that), then what's so scary about ssh, net::udap, or
temporarily turning off DHCP on the router?
3. I never said anything was wrong with the enhancement request. I
simply don't see it as a high priority. There are 44 votes on bugzilla
for Bug 7502 that disagree with me, which makes it one of the higher
vote totals among unresolved bugs. Maybe you think it's difficult to
configure a static IP, that's fine. But I think it's nearly impossible
for a user to find a workaround for my pet bug/enhancement ('Bug 14004'
(http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14004)), which I think has
much wider implications than static IP (but only 41 votes). Therefore I
think that deserves more attention. I'm not against your recommendation,
I'm just not strongly in favor of it either.
