| 1192181 | 2011-04-05 22:18:00 | Only problem with typing in an IP address, or mapping a network drive - all the computers have to have a static IP address. If the router issues a different IP to the target computer than before then the computer wont have the same IP. All you need to do is have one PC off, and plug something else in on the network, and the IP address can ( and does sometimes) change. My workshop PC's do it all the time. |

| 1192182 | 2011-04-05 22:22:00 | I usuallly give these static ips anyway. Since I use Mirc. And its better if you use one. Since it needs to be added to a router. So, sending will work And the Xbox needs one, so it can connect |
