You can assign static IP address to machines in your network versus using the random DHCP served one (100-255).

  • From your browser (Internet Explorer, FireFox, etc) enter [1]. This is a rough interface at the moment, but it gets the job done.

  1. Host: system name (webcam, kitchenpc, pvr, etc)
  2. Mac: MAC address for the system (i.e. 00:0E:0C:60:8F:2A). This can be obtained this by using ipconfig /all in Windows. Ensure you remove the / before entering the Mac.
  3. Address: Last number in the IP address (111.111.111.xxx) range (i.e. 32, 43, 110, etc). It cannot be the same as the hda server.
  4. Select Create to complete.
  5. As user root enter hdactl-hup.
  6. Release and acquire a new lease for the machine with the new IP address. In windows, ipconfig /release followed by ipconfig /renew.
