RE: Re: rio receiver 'lost' :(

Thanks for the tips Darren,

Only using 1 rio at the moment. In the IP configuration, autoconfiguration
is not ticked & is also blanked out so I cannot tick it.

Next week I shall be setting up a second rio & I guess i will have to
run a
DHCP service - Do I set that up from the network properties? At the moment
the 'use DHCP for WINS resolution' box is unchecked and there doesn't seem
to be anywhere to create a reservation for the Mac address. Hope I'm not
missing something dead simple:)

Thanks again

Jon B

Couple of small tips to allow quicker rebooting.

1. unplug from wall and press the power button on front panel. Then plug
back in and all will be well.

2. EVEN better way (as someone posted a while back) is turn Rio/DDAR off,
then back on and while it says searching for music press the menu button.
This will force a reboot from scratch.

Are you running MS DHCP or just the Rio software.

In MS DHCP you will need to create a reservation for the MAC address for
the Rio, but I suspect you are using the Rio software to handle ip's

If you only have one Rio/DDAR then in the Audio Receiver Manager menu
click, Tools - IP Configuration

If Auto configuration is ticked then this what range is setup ?

i.e. First address - last address make this the same address i.e.
192.168.0.129, then the software can ONLY give that to your Rio/DDAR.

If you have more than one then you NEED to run a third party DHCP
service. (MS or others) and create reservations
