[pchelpers] Re: Wi-Fi Problems

John,
I already have a cable running from the PC to the router. It is not 
reliable.
I noticed that the leases on the IP addresses are only for a short few 
hours.
I think I need to switch from DHCP to a static IP address but I don't 
know how
to accomplish this.
Re-Na,
Thanks for the link. Some of what was said there goes along with what I 
suspect the problem to be:
the need for static IP addresses, not DHCP.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
