I think if you connect an ethernet cable to the Touch but do not have the other end connected to the router it then allows you to setup the IP yourself. Or just turn off DHCP on the router if you are assigning fixed IP's for everything anyway. I'd much rather use router IP reservations myself, it's just a mouse click compared to entering all of the superfluous info manually (IP, subnet, DNS, etc..). -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83424 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
