I have an A-Link RoadRunner 44 ADSL router, a modded xbox, a laptop and two desktops.
The problem is that all of the computers get a dynamic IP from the ISP, which is great for internet stuff, but a pain in the ass for transfering files within the network. The computers don't see each other's SMB shares, and since the IPs change constantly using ftp is a pain in the ass.
Once I check the relevant IPs ftp usually works perfectly fine, but sometimes, apparently depending on whether the IPs of the two machines start with the same numbers, the transfer speed is ridicilously low (20kbs vs. 6mbs normally).
I tried enabling the DHCP server of the router, but it did nothing. When using a static local ip and using the router as a gateway, I can't connect to anything except the router (when pinging outside it complains "Reply from 10.0.0.2: Destination host unreachable").
So I'm basically looking for a way for the intra-network file transfers to go smoothly without breaking the currently nicely working internet connection.
