Because it's easier! Don't tell me assigning and maintaining true static IP adresses is easier than loging into the router and checkmark the devices you want to keep the same IP (reservation) - thats ONE click pr. device! doesn't get any easier if you ask me. I maintain my point: - DHCP is just fine for most users, - DHCP reservation is just fine for most advanced users, - True static IP's is for the IT specialist only. I use some DHCP reservation myself, but it's just a bad habbit. Actually it originated from what I thought was Squeezbox problems (2 years ago) but turned out to be a bad combination SBS on Windows Vista and old router firmware (dropping connection at lease end) - so I really didn't need to use DHCP reservation, it works just fine without. -- Letten Duet -> Audioengine A5 Classic -> Sony surround reciever -> Jamo 5.1 Speakers / JBL 120Ti 2 Boom's 1 Radio SC 7.5.2 on Laptop running Windows 7 Linksys WRT54G wireless router ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Letten's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16718 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83424 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
