2. Set a fixed ip for the N800. I will have to play around with it but I was wondering (sorry if this seems lame) if it is actually possible to set a fixed ip for the N800 in its advanced settings while leaving the router set to DHCP. In other words, by setting the fixed ip on the N800 does that just mean that the N800 requests/insists on this ip address when it makes contact with the router and all the other devices on my network will be able to continue to get a random ip assigned?
You should be able to assign fixed ip's via the router software. I run DHCP on my routers, but assign fixed ip's to my server and my n810. This simplify rsh and backups.
