1. I own a touch, SBC, and duet, I still don't want to have to jump
through any hoops. My Duet is a disaster to setup a static IP,
followed by the touch, followed by the SBC. It is easy to setup the IP
on the SBC, however if you unplug the SBC you have to
2. Again, you have to jump through a hoop. Also, go to your work
tomorrow and ask your IT director to turn off DHCP so you can give you
SB a static IP. I am sure he would love to do that.
