No static should stick I have no problems with that , on the other hand I have edited the files manually on my Touches via SSH rather than using the setup . However you should setup the DHCP range on your router to not include these static adresses so that the DHCP won't dole out an used address to something else . What settings did you put in your static setup exactly . the Touch can also tell you it's current settings somewhere in the network menus . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
