     Not from me! :-)   
      
     But let's concentrate on the dispute with our resident know-it-all:   
      
     When I say I need a "static IP" (address) for my device and I have (at   
   least) my device (which happens to be an Android device) and a (NAT)   
   router, then:   
      
   - What do I mean (by "I need a "static IP" for my device")?   
      
   - Where - and (roughly) how - should/must I configure said "static IP"?   
      
   - Where should/must I NOT configure said "static IP"?   
      
     Thanks in advanced for your - informed - response.
