    Is there a way to specify a static IP for the box? Mine is getting it's IP via DHCP and I'd like it to have a static one but I can't find an option for it.

    DHCP appears to be the only option presently.

    Barry I managed to do this.
    I appears that the option will appear if the unit is connected but unable to resolve a host name or get an IP address (not sure which). I connected it to an spare switch. I guess it is an, we will only offer it if you need it approach.

    However for most people that don't have special needs I would suggest an address reservation on the router would be the best way to achieve a static address.
