Great! So how then can I stop dhcp from randomly assigning a new IP address to my machine so that the client machine can see the server AND enable my (server) machine to access the Net after a reboot? This used to work fine - now it's borked and I don't know why or how, nor more importantly how to put it back to how it was before the package update that kicked in. Cheers AG
Hi, maybe you have that option in your router. This is how it looks in my router: http://screenshots.portforward.com/Siemens/Gigaset_SX763/Dynamic_DNS.htmI have 3 Siemens and with them it is possible to choose static or dynamic. Look on this page http://portforward.com/ for your router maybe you can find some description.
