Ok strange one, I have a hopper w/sling, super joey and a joey. I run my own DNS and DHCP servers and hopper has a static ip address assigned to its hardware address. I do this so I do not have to have to allow UPnP on my firewall/router (yes paranoid security guy here) and use a static firewall rule for the ip address that I have assigned. I am now finding that the hopper itself is not only grabbing the static ip address I have assigned through DHCP but it is also grabbing other IP addresses in the DHCP range I have but not getting them from DHCP (not showing in lease) as I had a issue where it grabbed the ip address of my wifes laptop and she was not happy she could not get on the internet. Yes her laptop is also a static address. Strange eh?
