NSLU-2 / Firefly / Soundbridge problem when changing router

You can always assign the IP to the NSLU mac address on the router so it won’t be reassigned by mistake by the DHCP server.
This is what I did with my NSLU on my router.

I did so too, but actually to use dnsmasq to resolve its hostname 😉

Anyway, it’s best to seperate “dynamic” hosts and “static” hosts on a network. Just don’t get too crazy and turn on DHCP on the slug, coz thats utterly broken.

Yes, should get you out of most trouble if you don’t mix dynamic and static IP addresses.

If giving the Slug a static or dynamic address through DHCP is a problem depends on which firmware you have on it. I have Debian Etch running on my Slug, and that works good. But then again, servers should have static addresses.
