Hi there is there any way to assign fixed IP addresses to a Duet / Radio running on a LAN I'm often testing stuff remotely as well and with a router for example you often need to Port Forward to specific machines on your LAN. For example you want to access a HOME computer from work via RDP

You can assign static IP addresses to the Radio, Touch and Controller. However you could also probably resolve this issue at your router. Set aside a range in your address space for static IP addresses and set your computer and VMs to static addresses rather than relying on DHCP. --

Hi there thanks again for a solution. I'm fairly new to all this networking stuff -- this basic info is actually quite hard to get hold of if you aren't used to dealing with it. I'm OK at setting up applications etc but Networking has always been a closed book to me. Cheers jimbo -- jimbo45

The fragility that I'm talking about has little to do with MSFT's network stack and everything to do with the typically lousy DHCP implementation on consumer level routers. I'd also not recommend using address reservation on many consumer routers, the ones I auditioned last year all had big

I had quite a few problems running dynamic addressing with my Squeezeboxes plus laptop, desktop, printer. I think it was related to the consumer router DHCP implementation that andynormancx talked about. Currently everything but my Laptop and my Radio are using true static addresses. My router
