Well, I'm obviously a little late with the answer but for the next time: Your router is what it's supposed to set the IP addresses. If it's not already present when your computer starts, the computer might self assign an address, for example the last one it used and if the router then assigns the same address to a different device you are in trouble. Please note that I would recommend _against_ setting fixed IP addresses because in my experience you tend to have so many devices on networks these days (I'm beyond 40 now) that you can easily lose the overview. Also, some devices these days don't _support_ manually setting IP addresses so unless all your fixed addresses are in a special, reserved address space (admittedly, I have a few of those, too), you inevitably run into trouble. DHCP usually works and it it doesn't, it's usually a router problem. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and *New: Logitech UE Smart Radio* as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100436 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
