It is unlikely that that is the problem. How far is your PC from your router? What is in between your PC and your router? Have you got the latest drivers installed? -- <http://ale.cx/> (AIM:troffasky) (UnSoEsNpEaTm(a)ale.cx) 21:45:07 up 1:12, 6 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 DIMENSION-CONTROLLING FORT DOH HAS NOW BEEN DEMOLISHED, AND TIME STARTED FLOWING REVERSELY

Routers seem to be an exception but by default they usually tell you there is a new version if you log on to them. It bugs me that I can't save my configuration and restore it to the updated firmware on mine, because I have changed so many settings. Including using fixed IP addresses for practically everything on the network because of limitations in Windows network printing which uses IP addresses instead of URLs even though they would change when things are powered on in a different order.

If you feel that you need static IP addressing for a networked print server or a PC that's sharing a printer on the network, that doesn't mean any other nodes need to be statically configured. You can, of course, but don't need to unless yours is a fairly unique situation. |
