 ====== Static IP ======
 Normally, the router is responsible for assigning local IP addresses to devices connected to it.  Most of the time, it doesn't matter to us what the actual IP address is and whether or not it's always the same.  But sometimes it does.  For example, some computers connect to network printers using the IP address.  So if the IP address changes, the computer can't find the printer.  With EchoLink, we have to forward specific ports to the computer running EchoLink using its IP address.  So again, it needs to be fixed.
