I have a Classic thats quite happy on powerline. Its the only one on Ethernet at this stage. Whether they suffer the same? Im not sure. Having just gone for fixed IPs all round, I hope I wont need to find out for a while! But if I do, Ill try and remember to focus on that as a factor. aubuti wrote: > And, if you start doing some building work, running power spurs, > opening/removing walls, etc then you should definitely look into running > Cat5e or Cat6 cable to as many SB locations as you can as part of that > job. Removing walls! Yikes! I think I was careless with my language. I guess by building work I mean running cables up through stud walls. I have really easy access underfloor to half of the house, so what I meant was that I could probably drill through the floor and the bottom studding and run Network cable; ADSL; and mains power up to a new location for the router. But I agree getting Cat5e into as many spots as possible makes sense. A longer term thing maybe, or as and when the opportunity arises. garym wrote: > Excellent that you got it working (I wasn't sure how to use command line > to go back to "255.255.255.0").

Thanks again Gary. Sounds like the same sort of journey. I got all the players fixed to static, then turned DCHP back on for the router. Fingers crossed its all stuck and Ill get a longer period of stability.
