Hi All,i just got my 6700, how to set up fixed IP address on 6700 ?

So far nit possible. Maybe in a future software release.

Sergey R5AU

a bit pity, will change the local network setup for now

You can make sure that it gets the same DHCP assigned IP address every time by configuring your router to assign the same IP to its MAC address.

Well Richard, i have setup more secure network locally with static IP adresses, due to the here combination of the DSL+WI-FI+Wi-Fi Extender+Wi-Fi repeater. 6700 with PC behind Wi-Fi Extender(without DHCP service),in this case i need to recombine of the network structure

I have a similar configuration and use DHCP that only assigns leases to known MAC addresses this includes too many computers to stay sane, gaming Devices, NAS, Printers, 2 Wireless Access Points and, external webcams and all the mobile devices that are within the household (or visit). I found it much easier to lock things down this way rather than configure static IP's on every device. That soon becomes unmanageable for me - I would rather play radio! :-) Just to clarify though, I am doing this through Microsoft Windows 2008 Server DHCP as it allows a managed MAC list - I don't personally know of any Routers that allow DHCP to known MAC only. But other people may.

i use a MAC OS(non server) with VMware and Win7(non server) for Radio, i see necessary a bit scripting on MAC to start with DHCP demon, I'll report
