Couple of things: If you want a static ip on your desktop, you need to set the address outside the range of dhcp addresses that the router assigns. For my Linksys router, the dhcp addresses start at 192.168.1.100. Anything less than 100 can be used for static. For static on the desktop, you need to manually set the address, the gateway (router) address, the subnet mask (255.255.255.0), and the DNS addresses. You can get those from the router admin settings. Or use public DNS servers, Google has some, but they will probably serve you ads based on what you look at. I don't think it is essential to have a static ip for the server, but it is better to always know where it is.
For the Squeezebox: Here is my Net::UDP output, without the wireless stuff (all are irrelevant): > UDAP [1] (squeezebox xxxxxx)> list > bridging: 0 > hostname: > interface: 1 *-- 1 means wired-* > lan_gateway: 192.168.1.1 *-- router address-* > lan_ip_mode: 0 *-- static ip-* > lan_network_address: 192.168.1.18 *-- address of squeezebox-* > lan_subnet_mask: 255.255.255.0 > primary_dns: 8.8.4.4 *-- a Google DNS server-* > secondary_dns: 0.0.0.0 > server_address: 0.0.0.0 > squeezecenter_address: 192.168.1.12 *-- address of the server when > setup, have used many others since, including DHCP assigned-* > squeezecenter_name: > Explanations in bold. I'm thinking the server addresses and name are dynamic, and if you could see this with the SB running, you would see the address and name of the server that is currently connected. Note that the SB and server addresses are outside the dhcp range of the router, <100. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mikeh49's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57861 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
