And I mean true "fixed" IP addresses, not simply reserved IP addresses in router. I assign fixed IP addresses outside the range that the router hands out DHCP addresses. I use something like:
(this all assumes your router is 192.168.1.1; some are 192.168.0.1) IP: 192.168.1.20 (the "20" can be anything above 1 and below where your DHCP starts in the router. mine start at .100) subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (this is just your router IP address) DNS: 192.168.1.1 (this can be your router IP address....one can also use the google DNS, which is: 8.8.8.8) with older players, sb3, boom, receiver, one can easily setup fixed IPs using the menu. With TOUCH and RADIO, it is a bit harder. I simply temporarily turn OFF the DHCP in my router, then go through a factory setup with the TOUCH or RADIO or DUET CONTROLLER. It can't get an IP address via DHCP and then will fail and give you the option to manually enter IP address info (may have to scroll down a bit on menu screen to see this manual option once the automatic assignment fails). Once done, then turn DHCP in router back to "on" *Location 1:* VortexBox (2.2) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VBA 3TB (2.2) > LMS 7.7.2 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.8 > SqueezePlay *Spares:* VBA 4TB, SB3, Touch (3), Radio (3), CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone4S (iPeng), iPad2 (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Tagging - mp3tag, Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100436 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
