Easy Solution?

having simalary problems with wired cameras an computers, I found out, that the cameras are getting allways IP-addresses above the one the master computer has.

I had 192.168.0.200 set fix to the master computer.
The second and third computer where set to 192.168.0.201 and 192.168.0.202.
But then, the cameras were not detected.

So I set the second and third computer to .199 and .198.
Now the cameras were taking the .201 and .202 and the lynx software was connecting to them.

So maybe, you don't need to and don't have to connect an ip-address to the wifi camera.

A Network scanning tool may help you, to find the accually take ip-addresses.

I've done some investigative work and now realize that, for whatever reason, the new WiFi camera isn't being assigned a Lynx IP address; it doesn't even resemble 192.168.0.6, which is what I would expect to see if I connected it first. Is there a way I can "tell" the system to assign the camera a Lynx IP address?

Start the wifi camera with a wire, then when the camera boots, go into the camera information set up an go to the net working box to assign the necessary information. (Don't have the stuff out of the cases but it is the last option right hand side of the dialog window) good luck, you need to reset the wifi information after each time you start the camera on a wire.

Why not reserve the IPs on the router for each device so it's always the same? Almost every reasonably good router can let you choose a connected device by MAC/Name, reserve and set and IP so it always boots through DHCP to the same IP (on that router).
