Can you assign it a static ip address? & how? thats really the only concern i have as DHCP would consatantly change the IP annoyingly

Yes, if you use the iHelp utility which can be downloaded from the Global Cache Support site.

I'm not sure what you mean by the question, but I have my router setup dhcp and connected it directly to the ismartalarm.

You may have to check the DNS settings. Even though, by default, it will be set to obtain IP from DHCP, somehow the DNS server settings are not taken automatically, you'll need to enter manually. Setup --&gt; Network --&gt; Wired LAN Setup (I use wired LAN, not wireless, I guess it will be the same) --&gt; DHCP (Auto) --&gt; Select "DNS (Manual)", press OK button, it will allow you to enter the DNS server address for your LAN, enter 4 digit DNS address and save the settings. Check the browser whether you are able to browse internet. Just for your information, the DNS server settings that are manually entered seem to be not saving permanently. Either a power off / power on, or just a reboot seem to be wiping this DNS setting. This is happening in my device, so I will enter the DNS address manually if at all I want to browse (very rarely I browse, so it is fine for me). May be your device stores it permanently. Check it out.

Yes - you configure the LAN interface IP as part of your setup. You don't have to use the default 192.168.1.x address it's set with out of the box.

Thanks for the link. Interesting. I'm just going to have to get the WET and test it. I find it intriguing that when in DHCP mode the devices plugged into it were assigned the same IP. That would point towards the WET doing NAT. If you just want to give your media center devices connectivity (so that they can access your network and the internet) that won't matter. But if you want to contact your media center devices from elsewhere on the network it could be a problem.But everything's so ambiguous in the stuff I've seen online I think the only way to know for sure is to buy it and try it out.

Just installed them and waiting for static IP address to play with the software!

DHCP mode let's the router tell each machine on the network what's its IP address is. Static IP let's the user tell the machine and the router a specific IP to use.

Yes, Dynamic DNS or VPN in. Plugging it in won't automatically put it on the internet.

No, depending on your service provider and how your modem is configured your router will get a public IP from your ISP or it will get a DHCP lease from the modem itself. The first option is ideal.

yes you can, simply forward all traffic to static lan ip you want and put a rule of any traffic is permited in or out. this will open all ports to that ip and no firewall will restric it from the router. This one way, there are other ways.

I've unplugged it from time to time (really just to move it) and haven't had to reset it up. Since I've written the review, I have seen some AirPlay disconnects (even with setting a static IP address). I know that setting a static IP is the way to go, but again have had a couple interruptions of music.

You can use the system with a static IP address or you can set up dynamic DNS. Dynamic DNS service can be obtained for free, and the included instructions cover the topic.

it has been a few since I have installed ours. I access ours through the IP address I assigned it. I believe it has a default IP then you change it.

We are a CL reseller and use them all the time. We use them mostly in Bridge mode and PPPOE, but there's no reason that it shouldn't work with DHCP. They are solid units.

Yes, in fact i prefer it that way, It didn't work well when I used it as a router on my old dsl connection. Just bypass the wan and give it an IP in your range and turn off DHCP.

The default IP for a newly installed device is 192.168.10.100. You need to set a wired computer on your network to static IP of 192.168.10.50 or any thing in the 10.xx range then you should be able to get to 192.168.10.100 and the set the IP to an IP in your network. You can also use the utility on the disk to pre configure it.

U can't add any dhcp options to the dhcp server for say vendor specific 242 avaya etc. Turn off autostart port as it gave me nothing but headaches.
