Not sure if your *it* is the Radio or DHCP server/router, Either way what is the restriction on temporary turning *it* off? You don't need to turn DHCP off, but some device (p/c or laptop) needs to be temporarily disconnected from the network so it can configure the Radio, then both can be connected back to the network. Any 'dynamic' devices will still be allocated addresses by the DHCP server but the Radio IP address will hold in absence of the router. You will need to ensure that the static IP, which you have chosen, is outside the 'IP pool' which the DHCP server uses. This will prevent the DHCP server allocating that IP to any other devices and causing IP conflicts. You can do this either by choosing a completely different set of addresses (e.g. 192.168.*2*.XX if the router is 192.168.*1*.xx) or editing the DHCP server to start giving out addresses from a higher number (xx.xx.xx.10 leaving xx.xx.xx.2 - 9 'clear' for you to use). AFAIK, there is no easy way to configure between dynamic/static on the fly. -- DigitalMitch 2 * SB3, 1 * Boom, 2 * SBR, 1 * Radio and 1 * Touch controlled by IR, SBC [and iPeng on iPhone - wifi died!!] 7.5.0 on WHS on HP MediaSmart (EX470) upgraded to 2G RAM http://www.last.fm/user/digimich ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DigitalMitch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72803 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
