Can't you just set the IP of each machine to static IP, and make it the same address as it was before?
And if I don't know the address prior to the router change?
I was using dhcp, simply because it worked. There wasn't really a reason to use static IPs. Ah, but there was!
I think the VE Pro docs should encourage users to use static IPs, if only for this reason. But in most other cases, there is no benefit to giving a device a static IP. There is no discussion of IP addresses or networking in the docs. I know networking is beyond the scope of VE Pro, but if a choice of dynamic vs. static IP results in files not loading automatically in the future, it would have been nice to know.
Another reason to make CERTAIN that your projects are backed up. DO NOT EVER rely on your host as your only place for the project data and parameters.
