Every time you upgrade the firmware it'll reset and (IMHO) it's a PITA to change it back. The mask is set properly for the type of network (class C). I'd suggest you change your sandboxes to use the machine name instead of the IP address. Even if you still need to hardcode the IP address, you can update it in one place (the HOSTS file) on each machine instead of many (the sandboxes). Within every directory in your sandboxes you'll find a (hidden) CVS directory. In each of those directories is a "Root" file that has the CVS root of the server where it got the source from. Change that using WinCVS or any in file search and replace utility you prefer. > > So now what do I do? Do I have to create (checkout) new sandboxes on my > other machines? I hope not.
