Correct. I only have one LMS, the TOUCH. > It sounds like the problem is the Radios not being able to connect to > the TinyLMS on the Touch, correct?

I have never got DHCP to work with my Logitech devices so have been on fixed IP since day one. I assume the router will not DHCP out IP's assigned that are fixed. Does this have to be set up manually as I have never bothered and does it assign from the lowest address upwards? My laptop/netbook and tablet all work fine with DHCP. > The first thing to try is to reboot the network: modem, router, > switches, WAPs etc. This frequently will fix the problem.
