I suppose I wasn't exactly clear on why RDP is involved. I have to remote in to these machines to fix them every time AC fails to launch, since I'm sitting one Great Lake away. The machines are connected via Ethernet and run Win7 Home Premium.

The router (a re-purposed G5 running Linux) is configured to provide the same IP any machines that re-connect based on their MAC addresses. Would it still help to actually configure the main computer with a static IP? I'll post images next time someone sends me a message asking me to fix it.

Do you want an ipconfig of the client or the main computer?
