Do they have DHCP assigned IP addresses or static?
dchp, but they're pretty static from day to day. i.e. the
dchp assigned addresses haven't changed since they were
first assigned weeks ago.  (and everything worked as
expected then).


<local t-mobile wireless app>
So does this mean you are using your cell phone as a hotspot connection or does t-mobile provide cable service in Brookline and this is through a cable router? In either case I would not bank on the same ip's being assigned to each machine on a consistent basis week to week, though if the router is on 24/7 and the clients are too then it can be consistent. On a router you can assign static ip's for local machines in the dhcp configuration but on a phone I do not believe that is possible. When you turn off hotspot and then on again the addresses may change depending on the order each client connects to it.
