>>> In tech-speak, what you need to do is to create a reservation on the dhcp server. In this you tell it which ip-address to assign to a given receiver's mac address. What's the make and model of your router and I'll have a quick look at what it's capable of?

Thats ok - I know it won't do the hardware leasing its the linksys wrt54g (unless there is a new firmware I don't know about). I just got the magik dhcp shareware thingie which I'll probably just buy if i don't find something free...

I was just looking at it backwards assed - if the dhcp software can handle the problem why bother writing code to handle it somewhere else - heh - i just didn't wanna mess with figuring out all my mac addresses.....

Anyway Paul - thanks for a great product - this is really top notch stuff - I started with 1 rio coudple years back - I'm at 6 now and there's no way that woulda happened without tRio - Again Thanks a bunch.

And thanks for the other responses to this....

BTW - magik DHCP server seems to be a decent product....
