Yeah, I've been learning a lot about all this stuff just trying to figure stuff out too.

As far as figuring out static vs dynamic, you can probably go to your router's settings. There's an option when you setup the router to use a static IP or get it dynamically from your ISP. I believe the majority of ISP accounts today get their IP addresses dynamically.

However, I think that might not be the source of my problem (or yours). The more I read up about wifi, IP, DHCP, et. al., the more it seems the most common generic wifi problem, be it with 8125's or laptops connecting to a wireless router, is simply the router assigning the device a proper IP address and how that IP address relates to all other IP addresses.

So check your router settings for any hints of how it might not be assigning your 8125 a proper IP address. Other devices using your router could also present an IP address conflict.

I'll report back on my progress.
