A little more research gave me this...

Beginning my setup, I navigated to the System Setup page where I was able to setup my MusicCAST Server and MCX-A10 client. Knowing that I had a DHCP server installed in my home, I realized that I would have to configure the MCX-1000 to receive its IP address from the existing server (you can only have one DHCP server on any network. Having decided to attempt setup without first consulting the owner's manual (just to see if it could be done), I began on the Network sub-menu where I located and clicked on Expert Settings. Here I was able to " Automatically obtain IP address with DHCP " under the IP Address sub-menu. This allowed the MCX-1000 server to obtain an IP address from my existing DHCP server. For those without an existing home network, the MusicCAST server is capable of acting as a DHCP server for its connection to the client modules (in fact this is the default configuration). Having the DHCP option was critical and showed Yamaha's foresight in writing the OS code.





So the Musiccast will act like just any other passive piece of equipment on the network instead of trying to be the boss.
