This is known as "Static DHCP", and I can confirm that it works quite well in this situation. I'm doing this with a Linksys WRT54GL, and Sveasoft firmware, but I understand that Tomato (which works on a lot of router models) does it as well - other routers and/or replacement firmwares may also have this option. -- rfreedman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rfreedman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7270 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65021 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
