I'll check whether the router allows IP reservation based on MAC, but I don't recall seeing this. In the meantime I've reset the NAS to static IP, left the gateway exactly as previously set, rebooted it and voila, it's up and can see the Internet, but whilst it can ping an IP it cannot resolve domain names. Adding the router DNS to it now and rebooting to see if that changes matters. Once I've got the NAS configured I'll deal with the PC, which I'm guessing should be easy because I'll have the same issues as with the NAS. -- audiomuze *If you want continued support for Customscan and Custombrowse plugins, vote for 'Bug #6023 - New plugin hooks to implement scanning functions' (https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6023) and let Plugin developers do what Logitech won't.* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ audiomuze's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33613 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73714 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
