I am fairly sure this is a simple question that I am a little embarrassed to ask, but after a couple of hours of reading the guides and searching these forums for similar topics I am no closer to finding an answer - so here goes...
I have been having instability with my system the last 12 hours and it seems to be related to IP address conflict. Transmission won't start up and the latest is that my AFP shares, which worked fine yesterday, have now disappeared even though I can still reach my freeNAS drives through FTP. I checked the error logs and see the consistent message "<MAC address> is using my IP address 192.168.0.1 on epair1b!" So it would seem fairly obvious that one or more services are not running because of an IP address conflict.
My instincts tell me that the solution is likely to be assigning static IP addresses within my network for both freeNAS and my PC's, etc. However I am having a very hard time finding any documentations or tutorials on how to achieve this. Help?
Thanks
