Subject: Re: Why do my local network ip addresses keep changing?
you have two options either use static assignments in whatever you use
to assign DHCP so it will always give Mac address X Ip Y or to
configure your devices with static IP's

This is the nature of DHCP and it works they way by design.

3rd alternative is to set a DHCP lease so effing long that it
essentially never expires. but i am a larger fan of DHCP assignments.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
