				So, I spent another couple hours this afternoon trying to update to current firmware but cannot set static IP.  Has anyone successfully set static ip w/ firmware version 2.02.00?
 
 I decided the firmware update was necessary when I went to obtain recorded footage only to find my HD became full/NVR stopped recording on 17 Dec.  I spent numerous hours attempting to update to current firmware but couldn't using the manual method via USB and firmware 2.02.00.  http://support.dlink.com/FAQView.aspx?f=ST1P9C0jMxkTqMSBvzlquA%3d%3d (http://support.dlink.com/FAQView.aspx?f=ST1P9C0jMxkTqMSBvzlquA%3d%3d)  This resulted in continual NVR reboots.  I finally updated via USB to the previous firmware version: 2.00.11.  From there, I update through the GUI to the current firmware.
 
 I attempted to set a static IP address--the same one I previously used and confirmed available after looking at router connected list.  This resulted in boot loop.  I went through above process to get stable OS and then tried a different static IP that has never been used with same results--continual system reboot.
 
 I settled on leaving the IP as dynaic, which doesn't make it the easiest for remote access nor local shortcuts.
 
 So, has anyone been able to successfully set static IP address w/ 2.02.00?
 
 I will be updating my other NVR tomorrow and will report back on firmware update...but I won't be trying to set static IP.  I believe right now that if I set my IP to dynamic I will be able to update via GUI w/o issues...

				What browser are you using to manage the DNR?
			
- 
				The best browser by far is IE.

				Do you get the same problem trying to set a static IP address using FF? 
 What IP address are you attempting to use for a static?
- 
				FF sucks  for Dlink. I use it for everything else but it always is freezing when accessing cameras or nvrs. 
 
 Posting my ip address isn't safe--right?  It's at the top end of the router range with a 5 digit port number. I had no issue setting static ip with old firmware....
- 
				I've never had a problem w FF on D-Link for me. 
 
 No you can post your LAN side IP address here, 192.168.?.?
 
 It's the WAN side IP address on the router that you shouldn't post.  ;)
 
- 
				Thnx for trying to help but I believe it's an issue with the firmware... 
			
- 
				I recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help and information regarding this. We find that phone contact has better immediate results over using email.
 Let us know how it goes please.
- 
				Thnx but I'm not wasting more time on Dlink. I'll just send them a trouble ticket so they can Repair it in the next build--unless somebody comes online and says they don't have issues with the same setup.

 Good Luck.

				Good news.  For my other DNR-202L I changed the network to dynamic first then updated the firmware through the GUI.  The entire process took 30 seconds and everything worked perfectly.
 
 I just wish the static address worked.
 
 FurryNutz; I think your name is comical.  Anyways, it appears you have communication w/ D-Link. Could you pass my concern along?
 
 P.S. The IP I use in the house is 172.16.0.XXX
- 
				Can you post a screen shot of the place where you normal enter in a static IP address?

 I'm out of town but I believe I was in the camera's network settings.
- 
				And the input boxes are grayed out or there isn't a box to enter in a static IP address at all?

 I can enter it but after saving static iP address it starts a boot loop.
- 
				And the setting does not persists after the reboot right? 
			
- 
				After reboot, the device goes into a boot loop.  The only way to recover is to manually update the firmware again using USB attached to NVR.  I can't remember what I did but I think I had to load the old firmware via USB to stop bootloop.

				Ok, I'll get this to D-Link for review. 
 
 Thank you for the information.  ;)
- 
				I've set a static DHCP assignment in my router to get around this issue.
			
- 
				That would be a reservation, not a static. Static is set on devices, not routers.

- 
				With my DNR-202L setting a static IP seemed to make it freeze all the time. It would freeze and then unfreeze. I switched it to DHCP and that solved the issue.

				Thanks for the feed back. This issue has been passed to D-Link for review.
