Good evening everyone, I wanted to know how to set a static IP address for Ihost, since at every start it changes from 192.168.1.61 or 192.168.1.62 Thanks Luca I solved it by setting Ihost static IP in the router configuration. Thanks everyone ---

I don’t know if iHost currently offers that feature I have assigned a fixed IP address to iHost in the DNS Server on my router ---

It is not possible at the moment. I did the same what @andy.wolf suggested. In any router in the DHCP settings you can assign a “fixed” IP address to a MAC address. And the DHCP server will always assign the same IP address to that device. It works just fine. ---

On Mikrotik I put static IP but still I-host gets new ip on every reboot. Is it so difficult to make static ip settings? if not thru web interface mayby telnet/ssh or something else. ---

I can’t access iHost via [http://ihost.local/](http://ihost.local/) or local.ihost My router does not have the function of assigning fixed IPs to devices. So I need to access the DHCP list every time a new IP is assigned to the IHOST. In this DHCP list, the hostname is blank. ---

Can you change the name of the device in your router operating system? The MAC remains constant, but is hard to remember. On one of my router pages I can change the friendly name but in the other there is friendly name I suspect you can get round this utilising a local equivalent of a dyamic DNS server installed in a docker but Ive never tried. ---
