As I've understood, the issue isn't that you get a different IP
address, the issue is that you aren't able to retrieve an IP address
from the DHCP server. Due to this, I suspect it probably doesn't help
to configure a fixed IP in the router, the Squeezebox would still not
be able to communicate with the DHCP server to get it.
