Fixed ip's in the router is only really half the solution if that causing trouble for you you don't get rid of the dependency of the routers DHCP .
So iether use DHCP or just exclude some adress space from the DHCP pool and setup true static adresses on the devices and the server . Why I'm doing it's because all my wired players and computers ( including the server ) is connected by simple switches and my router is just connected to one of the switches if router goes down absolutely nothing happend to the wired part of the network if play local files I'm not even likely to notice . Duet reciver had some rare bugs depending on the nature of your network it would not always reconnect properly via DHCP . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
