your wireless router manages your ip space. it acts as the DHCP server, assigning IP addresses as they are requested. certain conditions cause them to be released, and then there can be major trouble if both sides don't agree the IP address has indeed been released. And the SB3 is not a good DHCP citizen, in my experience, but of course YMMV.
go to your wireless router management console. i should allow you to define your address boundaries. in your case, i assume it is 192.168.0.xyz meaning that you can have quite a few devices there. The wireless router seems to be claiming 192.168.0.1 for himself, as they often do. That's also your DHCP servers and your gateway's address. It should also allow you to define where the address space to DHCP begins, and how many active DHCP clients can be there. So if you configure it to start at 192.168.0.20 and tell it it's 20 clients, it means the DHCP server will hand out addresses from 192.168.0.20 to 192.168.0.40 dynamically. That also means you can assign addresses from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.19 manually. Assign one of them to each SB or other manual devices you have in your network. Caution: Make sure you don't double assign and keep painstaking note of it. -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39088 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
