Provided somebody could get one of the workarounds to work and fix the IP you would not need to change it again.
However, there are lots of other issues with the Duet where part of the recommended fix, or even part of a diagnostic process, is to carry out a "factory reset" which (of course) wipes any fixed IP address data. In fact a Tier 1 Logitech support guy once asked me to do that almost as his first suggestion when I had an issue with some menu items not appearing. This really is not as minor a point as you think, and an easy way to fix the IP address would also give Logitech support an easy way to make their hardware work with a diverse range of other networking equipment, regardless of where the fault lay. Three of the four routers I have tried have suffered from DHCP problems, but none have had any trouble working with a device with a fixed IP address. It really is the simplest way to fix a wide variety of networking problems. -- 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.
