Restart changes application assignment

However, when the router re-starts, such a after a power fail, then the applications are assigned to a random device on the local network. This is very tedious when I am away from home as there is then no way of re-assigning since access to the router externally is also reset on a restart.
The router retains correctly which applications are to be assigned, just the assigment itself that is altered.
Any ideas on how to make the assignments persist across a restart?

A couple of questions...
1. Have you configured the DHCP client to reserve the IP address for specific devices? Static addresses to be used for application mapping should be configured through DHCP reservation.
2. Have you mapped the applications to server by name or IP address? Application mapping to service should be by machine name, not IP address.

Good point for external access, though there are other ways than a static IP to do that.

I map applications to machine name but when it restarts it comes up with a random machine.
I do not use fixed IPs as I found problems with that (and suggested on other forum threads). Apart from this problem seems much better since then, but I have to be honest, I have not yet had time to go back to static address for the named machine since I discovered that the technicolor cannot handle large intranet traffic and I installed a hub in fron of the router.
Might be something to try again.
