Address Reservation

When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always receives the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to computers or servers that require permanent IP settings. To reserve an IP address:
1.Click Add. N300 Wireless Router with USB WNR2200 User Manual Customizing Your Network Settings 5-5v1.0, September 2010

2.In the IP Address field, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server. (Choose an IP address from the router’s LAN subnet, such as 192.168.1.x.)

3.Type the MAC address of the computer or server.

4.Click Apply to enter the reserved address into the table.

To edit or delete a reserved address entry:

1.Select the radio button next to the reserved address you want to edit or delete.

2.Click Edit or Delete

If you have any problems just ask. It is easy once you see how it is done. I just am not sure your router supports it.

in case I do have problems...which router does support this...thi s is something i have been trying for a very long time...

N300 Wireless Router
WNR2200 Setup Manual

Ok I am in my router settings and before i really mess things up I hav a question. I am running this servioo software on two seperate computers, One computer, my desktop, i have no problem at all. It shows up on all my media players. My laptop just doesnt show up any more on my media players. I have both consoles open right now and both have identical settings ( in fact the green dot is lit on both consoles too) so why would one work and not the other? Still think cause static? thanks..

ok they say my router doesnt have the capability to set it to static...does that mean i am sol?

[moltra]

no you can set a static IP address on each of the devices.


Did you check the firewall of the laptop?

  Code:

My device doesn't see Serviio

This could be caused by you having multiple IP addresses on the machine and Serviio binding to a wrong one. Insert IP address of the machine running Serviio into 'Bound IP address' field in Network Settings section in the console or pass system variable serviio.boundAddr including the IP address when starting the server.

Also make sure that TCP port 8895 and UDP 1900 are open in your firewall.

If you are on a Linux based OS, make sure you set up multicast routes properly.

If on Windows, you can push Serviio service down in starting order.


when u say the machine running serviio do you mean the media player or the computer? the media player right?...again seems to work since i restart servioo manually after everything else has started up...Only issue (and a minor one) I have is the deleted folders won't go away

the computer where Serviio is installed

ok not going t o mess with anything since this is working so great, especially on a PS3 and the sony smp 100. the direct tv receivers don't work so great. many movies won't even start up and some are freeze and go...any ideas on that?......I removed serviio from my startup menu which is best on the lap top that I take from work to home anyways. when I start it at work (I am a teacher) it picks up every cell phone, computer, media player that is at my school. When I get home , I start it up and it works awesome...I have thousands of movies on my hard drives and have been trying for years to do what you software can.....
