Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Static IP on Radio?
A way to fix it without disabling the DHCP server or disconnect it from the network, is to SSH to the radio and edit the network settings directly. Enable remote logg in in some setting on the radio, use a shell (or putty if you are on windows ) Google on internet and get familiar with the awkward vi editor (the only one that is running on the radio) This works on controller radio and Touch . it is the /etc/network/interfaces file you got to edit. And then you reboot the machine and it takes the new setings "reboot" or power it of and apply power again. Wifi or ethernet ? Example Touch wired Ethernet. Don't take any ip addresses literally they apply to my network you have your own net, easiest way to find out is to run ipconfig or ifconfig and se what dns or gateway you should use. I use my router as DNS to have a central point where i can change that if necessary you can of-course use your isp dns directly.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Static IP on Radio?
There are answers in this thread, but I thought I'd add the results of my trials. The one alternative action I tried was to set the ip address manually while NOT connected to my router to see if that would stick - it didn't. Basically my router is a DHCP Server, but I only define a pool of dynamic addresses from 32 to 128 for visitors and laptops. I use 1 - 31 as static IP addresses for stuff not leaving my house so I know where to find them on the LAN. Works fine for the Squeezebox Boom but not for the Radio. Now I have used the router to assign 32 to the Radio using the MAC address, so it is static - but it wasn't the way I meant it to be! -- andym2009 andym2009's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33248 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72803 ___ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Static IP on Radio?
You can set a static ip if you can ssh into it and know some linux. At least I've done it on the touch. But you'll need to either use dhcp to ssh into it or set up a straight line connection with no dhcp to begin with. This is an irritating bug which needs squashing. This is not a user friendly approach and if you don't know Linux theres going to be a learning curve. -- markn markn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14846 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72803 ___ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

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

Suggestion I've heard (but not yet tried) would be to connect wired to a device which is not providing DHCP. Example: connect directly to laptop, or to switch not connected to DHCP server. I've been meaning to try this, but my Radio has not had any problems running dynamic IP - probably because most of my other devices are running static IP, so not much chance of any address conflicts. Supposedley doing this will bring up a dialog to choose network setup. -- tcutting tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72803 ___ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

In my case, I have two, and both had reliability problems until I configured *one* of the two to use a static IP. They've both been fine ever since. DHCP reservation *should* be a viable alternative to static IP (especially if you can set very long lease expiration times), but unfortunately it's not always the case. For Controller, I suspect that some power saving code may complicate matters -- perhaps when waking up from a power-saving mode it wants to renew its lease? I don't know, I never bothered debugging at the packet level since configuring a static IP was easier than debugging and apparently solved the problem. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ Free plugins: 'AllQuiet' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AllQuiet.html) 'Auto Dim/AutoDisplay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AutoDisplay.html) 'BlankSaver' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/BlankSaver.html) 'ContextMenu' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/ContextMenu.html) 'FuzzyTime' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/FuzzyTime.html) 'KidsPlay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KidsPlay.html) 'KitchenTimer' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KitchenTimer.html) 'PlayLog' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PlayLog.html) 'PowerCenter/BottleRocket' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PowerCenter.html) 'SaverSwitcher' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher.html) 'SettingsManager' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SettingsManager.html) 'SleepFade' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SleepFade.html) 'StatusFirst' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/StatusFirst.html) 'SyncOptions' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SyncOptions.html) 'VolumeLock' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/VolumeLock.html) peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72803 ___ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Static IP on Radio?
Yes DHCP reservation. And it will allow you to know the IP address in advance so you can do your hostname to IP mapping via a hosts file, configuration on your router, etc. Nothing against static IP of course; but if there are problems or complications doing that I'm failing to see significant downsides to the DHCP reservation approach. It accomplishes the same thing only on the router side. Some downsides might includes if the device is moved between networks (but then it's often questionable that you really want static IP anyway) or if the router is down for some reason and your devices needs to renew it's DHCP assignment (like your restarted it or it timeout out or whatever) and you still want peer devices to be able to communicate. But this seems like quite a corner-case situation - could depend on network setup I suppose. -Jeff -- jdoering jdoering's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17482 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72803 ___ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I'm confused. How will you setup the hostname? I'd think it's too different problems.

If your router doesn't support that feature how were you intending to setup the hostname mapping even if your Radio had a static IP? -Jeff -- jdoering jdoering's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17482 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72803 ___ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Static IP on Radio?
Most routers support static IP assignments even when DHCP is enabled. You have to configure a mapping from the Ethernet MAC address of your radio to the static IP you want. That way the Radio will be using DHCP but will always get the same address and will still have DHCP if you move it to another network for some reason - which is a plus in my opinion. -Jeff -- jdoering jdoering's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17482 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72803 ___ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
