All -

After spending a few days looking at potential answers, I've hit a
bump.

I want to use my Squeezebox Radio at my office.

Take as a given that I cannot set a static IP address from the router
end.

Further, though the Radio connects promptly using DHCP over the wired
network, I'm not allowed to use DHCP either, for reasons having nothing
to do with the Radio.

I want to assign a static IP address to the Radio.

In order to accomplish this, I set up a wireless hotspot in my office
and SSH'ed in to change the interfaces file.

However, the only sample I have from the web is specific to setting a
static IP on a *wireless* network, not a wired one.

the relevant part of the file goes...

auto eth1=Your-WIRELESS-NETWORK-SSID
iface YOUR-WIRELESS-NETWORK-SSID net static

etc., etc.

In a wired LAN, what should go in place of these two lines? Can I do
without?

tks,

s.
