Hi there is there any way to assign fixed IP addresses to a Duet / Radio running on a LAN
I'm often testing stuff remotely as well and with a router for example you often need to "Port Forward" to specific machines on your LAN. For example you want to access a HOME computer from work via RDP (Windows users) then you need to port forward port 3389 to a specific machine on your local LAN at home. Now if my computer is down and I've re-started the Squuezebox devices before re-booting the computer the squeezebox devices "Grab" the IP address that I've assigned to the computer with - predictable results as you can guess. Even if you assign a fixed IP address to your computer it doesn't stop the squeezebox devices grabbing IP addresses if you start them BEFORE your computer. It's not really convenient to ensure all the squeezebox devices are turned OFF before re-booting the computer. On a LAN with a lot of testing (I'm running 5 or 6 Virtual Machines as well on this LAN) I really would like the squeezebox devices to have their own IP addresses to avoid a lot of silly networking problems. BTW a lot of people having connectivity problems can usually solve these by switching off their squeezebox devices, restart their router, reboot the computer and THEN switch on the squeezebox devices.
