And find the PC then on a different IP? I can't think of any reason why changing encryption on/off would affect this, other than that the router DHCP imnplementation may.. suck. (Ie, it -should- ping an IP before it gives one out just to be sure that it didn't lose any clients when rebooting, and on many routers, a mini-reboot is done when you change some settings like encryption.) -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19604 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
