[QUOTE="Eric Eskam, post: 88474, member: 2124"] Re: X32-router-laptop? Set the iPad to a static IP. If the problem goes away, DHCP is your problem. I'm not sure why it would be, especially if the AirPort Express had the DHCP server functionality enabled and is configured to be handing out IP addresses, but there it is. DHCP is a variable or wild card. The clue is in it's name = [I][B]dynamic[/B] host configuration protocol[/I]. All devices related to sound, video or lighting on our dedicated network for all of them are statically assigned. In a live environment the last thing I want is for some device to go all wonky because it couldn't talk to the DHCP server after it's lease expired and it decided to behave in some random, unpredictable response to that situation. For live anything, static/manual configurations are your friend! Yup, if you go between normal use and gig use for a device, changing the IP settings around are an extra step - which do you want? Convenience or peace of mind? Me, I choose the latter.... [/QUOTE]
