Incoming connection is rather not the cause of the change.You didn't mention
how do you get addresses. If you make it via dhcp from wireless router, then
the leasing time should be considerably long enough. Time is measured in se-
conds, so get it high.

You have ip problem. And looks you have two web pages, one on desktop, one
on 770. One of them is overfluous. Take this scenario:
you have router that gives ip address to the box that asks for it. 770 asks
and gets new address for every 43200 seconds or similar. You should know
address range of that router. Fire up nmap and get the result from it.
nmap -p 80 192.168.1.0/24 | pipe
The pipe means you have to use grep or whatever you like to see the line
with positive match. That line gives you ip address of your 770. Little
cut command and you could get rid off un-necessary particules. All in pipes.
Then use ajax to dinamicaly change the page or put it in command line, like
lynx $ADDRESS
Cron could do it a regular interval. Or your 770 has no power or memory and
reboots and gets new address whenever it happens.

You could change the way your router sees boxen. But dhcp is fine for home
usage.
