[QUOTE="funkstar, post: 500406, member: 14311"] Or give MP the [I]name[/I] of the PC instead of the IP. For example my old Mediaportal box was called MPServer, thats what the MP front end connected to. Now it is TheCulture :) Another option, and this is also recomended, is to have your router statically asign a specific IP through DHCP. Basically whenever a specific MAC address requests an IP it [B]always[/B] gets the same one. makes trouble shooting much easier, and still allows you the easy of setup and flexability that DHCP gives you.
