AutoIP is assigning my wireless adapter different IP
addresses. What can I do?
If AutoIP is assigning your wireless adapter different IP address-
es, your s i m p l e f i will not connect to the PC. AutoIP may assign
your wireless adapter a different IP address if, for example, your
wireless network supports many computers. When you turn off
your computer, a wireless adapter on another computer can take
the IP address previously used by your PC.
You should assign a static IP address to your wireless adapter.
