Hi Bob, > Is your Linksys handing out the IP addresses? Yes. > In any case assigning IP addresses to specific MAC addresses on your > DHCP server should help. Varying server addresses is a bad thing, > anyway (IMHO). I did fix the server address and only had the clients use DHCP.

Today I tried again, but still wasn't able to pinpoint the issue. For now I decided to fix all IP addresses which is fine for now. I'll try something again when I have more time to really sort it out. Untill that time, fixed I addresses will do. Regards, Marcel
