It was not hard to figure out on my Netgear. It has just >worked ever since. I have half a dozen laser printers, three computers and an HDHomeRun on the network. There's also a wireless router, which is used mostly for my phone. So I gather that the static IPs need to be set in the router, not in the computers. I assumed that it would be like my laser printers, where I set the IP in the printer's control panel. Indeed, my desktop computer gets restarted every time PGE cuts out for a couple of seconds, yet it is always 192.168.0.146. If I set it in the router there must be some way to identify each computer, else how does the router know which computer to give which address to? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
