seems a bit pointless to have a static IP set if my internal keeps changing and the plex server then cannot direct connect. will connect but indirect so slower
I have asked Plusnet support but got no where.
every few days i have to enter the router and reset game sharing for my plex server, edit ip and chose my pc hostname. it then works fine until the local IP changes again.
anyway i can stop this?

i have a static external but is no use when the internal changes so often and i have to reset the new internal to associate with my pc
i dont want the internal to change or at least auto reset itself to my pc hostname

What @Browni is saying is you need to assign your Plex server an static internal/local IP address.

Two ways:
1) Assign your device a static IP in its own TCP/IP settings (you *might* be able to do this in your router config but not all offer that feature)
2) Run your own DHCP server and configure it to give that device the same IP each time it renews the lease on that ip address. You'd need to turn off your existing dhcp server in your router for this option.

I've already explained to you how to get around the ip addresses being changed. Either go static or use a different dhcp server on your network. I've no idea if your router supports static IP addressing but thats the best place to look.
