It depends. Your network, subnetwork, etc will have a range of legal values. Most Cable/DSL modems provide DHCP service, and you don't have to care. But if you do, you should look at the values the modem/router/access point is using, and use one in that range. Of course, the only safe way to pick on is to use the modem/router's admin panel, and specify one that it won't use. How you do that depends on the router/modem. In general, static IP addresses entered manually is a really bad idea. That is how the Internet worked for the first years, and if you pick a duplicate number, things break badly. That is why DHCP was invented. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
