If it's a wireless issue, the static IP won't really help much. If you have 'NetStumbler' or something similar, you can see what wireless networks are near you and what channels they are on. Keep in mind that when they designed 802.11g frequencies they were sloppy, or perhaps the hardware is sloppy to keep costs down, so a given channel is actually a curve 'around' the channel. Ie, channel 6 spews RF into 4 and 5 as well as 7 and 8, it's just that MOST of the signal sits on the channel 6 frequency. So if you have neighbors using channel 6 and 11, go for channel 1. Try to move as far away from the strongest signals as you can. Most routers default to channel 6, so odds are just moving to 1 or 11 will move you away from your neighbors wifi. There is a lot of other junk in the 2.4Ghz range, though, that NetStumbler won't see. (It looks for -signal- not -noise-...) So if your neighbor has a baby monitor that sits where channel 1 is, you won't see it with NetStumbler, but it will spam the frequency with noise whenever there is a sound. Ain't wifi fun? You should only need to change the channel on the router: any clients should notice and follow it to the new channel. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76124 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
