	One hint I might give would be to poke at your router and find the dynamic DHCP entry for your hardware, then change it to fixed.. I can't detail that here as every router essentially does this in their own way.. If your router supports static DNS entries, giving the IP Address a host name can also be useful.. Mostly, just using "http://octopi.local/login/" will get you to your new print server and you can start configuring right away..
