Once you've done that the SH reboots. It does that for every one. OK I can understand it may need to do so but it should give you the option to defer that until you've finished making reservations. When I had a SH before on one occasion it managed to corrupt the entire fixed IP table somehow and I had to start over. Not showstopping certainly but tedious, annoying, and totally unnecessary.

What firmware version are you using? On my R30 it's just the steps I outlined - no MAC address; no clunkiness; no reset?
