Is there a way to configure your router to keep it from assigning different ip adresses from time to time? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Most routers will allow you to assign static IP addresses for known MAC addresses; in fact, this is the preferred and most secure way to run wireless in most cases. You'll need to know the MAC address of the Stoker (looks like "78-2B-CB-9C-96-C8" or with colons instead of dashes), and I'm not familiar with the Stoker but the MAC address might be printed on a sticker somewhere on the Stoker, or in the original docs shipped with it...or maybe can be viewed in its web interface...? Or if you can get it to connect to the router somehow, you should be able to use the router's web interface to see currently connected clients and get the Stoker's MAC address from its entry on that list. Once you have the Stoker's MAC, the router should have a web interface page that allows you to create a static address using that MAC. Hopefully this will alleviate your pain. Good luck!
