You are half right. The router's DHCP server dishes out IP addresses on a lease basis based on the connecting devices MAC address. The length of the lease is usually 24 hours from the devices request for a lease but may be a different period. On a Windows machine you can force the commencement of a new lease by typing ipconfig /renew at a command prompt. You will get the same IP but for a new lease period. To see what your DHCP server has dished out in full type ipconfig /all I am pretty certain that rebooting an SB forces a renew request. It does on a PC. In fact I am certain. NB. Wireless and wired connections have different MAC addresses. *Vortexbox LMS 7.8 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets *Living Room* - SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s - Zone 2 -> Sony TA FE 320 -> Sennheiser RS 130 & B&W P7 *Office* - RPi -> Sony TA FE320 -> Celestion F10s / SB3 -> Onkyo CRN 755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - SB Touch -> Topping TP21 -> AKG Headphones *Bedroom (TV)* - Amazon Fire TV (SB Player) -> Topping TP20 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104523 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
