I use Chronosync to sync files between macs via wireless and share files for my Xbox with XBMC.
At the moment I am having to set up a computer-to-computer network and manual IP for chronosync, otherwise the IP address changes and syncing doesn't work. For XBMC, I have to temporarily do without the internet so that I can use an ethernet cable assigned a manual IP address so the Xbox knows where to look. It also means I have to move files from my iMac to my MBP so that I can attach it to the router in the other room.
It would be great if I could just set a static IP address for each Mac on the wireless network so that everything just works without having to tinker with settings back and forth.
Is there a way to do this? Obviously, changing the IPv4 to manual address disconnects the internet, which is pretty much the extent of my knowledge on the matter!
Any suggestions helpful!
