My experience so far has been different. The DHCP problems are intermittent, but 2-4 resets later I can get an address (and it always is the same address). Losing connection to the SlimServer though is harder to ascribe fault to, I have no idea if it is the PC that I have the sevrer on, or the router that would cause it to lose connection to the server and then regain it some 15-45 minutes later. -- stoobie-doo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stoobie-doo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2192 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19226 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
