XBMC iPhone app - chaning ip.
#1
Hey Lads,

So i bought the XBMC app, my problem is that each time i start my pc and xbmc - the ip adress in xbmc, changes - so in order for me to use the app, i have to go into xbmc, find the new ip and then write it on my iphone, so the whole point of the app kinda goes down the drain....

Do any of you have an idea what i should do, to get ONE ip all the time? Im using wireless internet in my appartment, if that has anything to say.

Ps. Im kinda n00bish, so if you could explain it to me in a way where a n00b can understand it, it would be highly appreciated.

Cheers

If you want a static IP for your xbmc box

3 options

1. configure your router so that it reserves the IP (doesn't let any device use that IP) for the xbmc machine.

2. set a static IP. Make sure it's not within the DHCP range otherwise the router may allocate it to another device

3. use the hostname of the machine instead.
