my Empeg currently has a fixed IP of 192.168.0.45 and works fine at my office. My cable router at home doles out IP's that are 192.168.1.xxx so it doesn't see the Empeg.
So then reprogram your cable router to dole out that third octet as 0 instead of 1 and you're golden.

maybe our LAN at work uses DHCP and I just have never tried it.
 That's quite likely, give it a shot.
