Hi Adam,



Just a wild guess ... does the router do a 24hr routine that disconnects
all attached machines and then re-leases new ips?

Have you reserved the static ip for the corresponding MAC-address? I
have my Netgear router set to DHCP so it is easier for my various
wireless devices to connect to it, but have reserved the ips for the
machines that are always connected to it.
