Merry Christmas all... 
ok, i've just bought a new modem router (a belkin with gigabit LAN).
installation went well with all of my pc's / phones / consoles connecting
to the LAN and WAN without any issues.
but.. last night me and the missus sat down to watch an episode of dexter
stored on my NAS. i clicked on the episode to watch and everything froze.
i sat staring at the screen wondering what had gone wrong then it came to
me that the IP address of the NAS had changed (was 192.168.0.13) and now
it was (192.168.2.3). obviously, xbmc was still looking for the previous IP.
to get around this, i changed the routers IP address to 192.168.0.1 and set
a fixed IP on the NAS to 192.168.0.13 - this has fixed the issue that i had
experienced, but was a PITA because i then had to switch all of my other
devices off and on so that they would accept the new IP range.
is there an option within xbmc live which would allow me to point the tv and
movie library to a new IP address and also keep all of my artwork / fanart
without the hassle of going all through the set up rigmarole?
fyi, my set up is as follows:-
acer revo r3700 - hdd wiped completely and xbmc live installed directly to hdd
connected to my LAN (and NAS) via gigabit ethernet.
thanks in advance
