[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 449440, member: 176362"] This thread isgoing back a bit, but decide which item of kit is going to be the dhcp server (allocates ip addresses) and [I]disable dhcp on everything else[/I]. I use moy router as the dhcp server. You might want to thing about static ip addresses (reserved leases) within your dhcp setting. Things that are a good idea to allocate reserved leases would be a dreambox, a network printer etc. Onceyou have everything working make yourself a little text file up with the ip addresses and whats allocated where. Even small home notworks can get very complicated very quickly. For example here I have Netgear router Dell desktop computer (my toy) Dreambox 7020 Slingbox (just as a new toy to play with :D) Samsung network colour laser Acer laptop (wireless connection) Compaq laptop (wireless) no name desktop unit in spare bedroom (wireless - occasion use only) Plenty of scope for ip conflict there! Pick an ip range, and make sure everything is running in the same range - most folk use 192.168.x.x at home. [/QUOTE]
