I don't think this is a "problem" that needs fixing in SB per se. Your router is a tiny computer. Your SB Touch is a tiny computer. Sometimes things just get messed up in *any* computer and a reboot solves that. Most of our other computers get rebooted if not daily, then at least every so often. But the router and the SB player might go months and months without a reboot. And SB players do seem to have some issues (by design) in dealing with DHCP servers in routers that some other network connected devices don't have. I don't undertand the technical reasons for this. But I can say that I give fixed IP addresses to all my SB players and VB server and anything else that is on my network (and doesn't leave my network). And I mean a true fixed/static IP address, not simply a "reserved" address within my router. This said, while everything is working, I'd go into my router setup and go ahead and "reserve" the IP addresses that all your connected devices have used. p.s. to setup a fixed IP address in the TOUCH, you need to temporarily turn OFF the DHCP server in your router. Then restart the TOUCH and go through network setup for the TOUCH. It will fail to get an IP address then scroll down on that screen on the touch and choose "enter IP address manually". In your case it would be: IP Address: 192.168.0.xx (where xx is an address that is outside the range handed out by your Router...you should see this in your router. Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.0.1 DNS server: 192.168.0.1 in Touch you may have to enter 3 digits, i.e., 192.168.000.001 When done, go back into your Router and turn DHCP server back ON. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94828 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
