Hi
I'm searching for how-to have XBMC displaying the SUMMARY INFORMATION at startup.
I have DHCP network, so IP is not fix. This display will help to input the right IP in the remote controller.
Many thanks

Best would be to check in your router if you can reserve an IP for a device. The option might be under 'LAN IP' or something.
You should be able to see the connected devices and tell the router to always give a device (by mac) a certain internal network IP.
Or you can set the particular device to a static IP instead. But then you need to make sure the number is high enough so that it doesn't accidentally is given to another device by your router. For example 192.168.0.200 would normally be given to the 200th device connected to the router. I doubt you have that many devices connected.
