That's because SSS is configured for DHCP, but you don't have a DHCP server on your network.

You have to disable DHCP in project options and go with a fixed IP address. Anyway, after DHCP timeouts, it should go back to a fixed ip address, but you probably didn't define it.

In the standard SSS project template there's a get_ip_addr() functions which serves for this purpose.
