yea, thanks, when I was there last I logged into his router and set a browser bookmark for him, and created a readme for his router un and pw. he has a problem with passwords :). Someone is always changing them, didn't you know? :) I am "tech support" for a number of my friends up there, internet, streaming, audio, tv, wifi cameras, you name it, so I try to setup their stuff so I can do phone support. So, I understand that I can walk him through finding the pi's IP, but then I would have to change the address in all of the bookmarks I will be sending him. That is why I thought a fixed IP would be a help. Not 100% sure of how I go about it in terms of identifying a fixed ip to use, is it as simple as just chosing one? Is there a downside to a fixed IP? Thanks for suggesting quick assist....
