Sony BDP S570

My blue ray player lost the media server. It was working fine but then just stopped. I think it has something to do with the bound ip. Initially it was set at 192.168.1.9. This ip disappeared. I am not sure how to bind it to an ip. Also, the console detects my Mac as a dlna renderer 192.168.1.2. I can make a static ip but I need the Mac address to do this. I am running serviio pro with mountain lion. Please help

bdid you try not to bind to any IP? It might work it out by itself.

If it doesn't work, static IP is alway a good idea. Mac address should be printed when you type

  Code:

ifconfig

in your terminal

Thanks for the reply Not binding doesn't work. How do I determine what ip to use? Or can I just pick one and assign? When I use the ifcongig. Is that the Mac address for the machine? Or does the media server generate its own?

Got it to work again. Don't ask me how. It is now on a static ip. Hopefully when the leases expires it will still work. Anyone know how to prevent the expiration?

Anyone know how to prevent the expiration?

In DHCP server ... in router I mean.

Which setting in router. I set the ip to static, but I believe eventually it will expire.

Router dependant.
On my router, IP are fixed according to the MAC device address... so never change.

Well, it happened again. Server lost. The player is detected on the the console but no luck on the tv. I have a fixed ip that is entered into the server settings. I really don't get how it can be fine for days and then just crap out. Very frustrating. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
