I would greatly appreciate it if someone could post step by step instructions of how to do this. I need a static ip because everytime i restart my cpu my internal 192.xx.x.x addy changes...only the last two digits...im on a router with 2 other pc's and i run a direct connect hub so i need a static ip...thank you in advance.
 
What's the range of addresses your router uses for it's DHCP server? You want to pick one not in that range but I can't tell you what to use not knowing the subnet your router currently uses.
 
If you want a STATIC ip for your INTERNAL network you need to configure your Router and your Network settings on the computer. I suggest going to the manufactures website of the router. They usually have good How-To guies.

If you want a static IP on the WAN side you will have to call your ISP and probably pay an extra 10 bucks a month.

Sorry i couldnt be of more help!
 
Log into your router's admin console, turn off DHCP. Actually you don't HAVE to turn off DHCP on a LAN with only a few nodes but if your going to run static IP's you might as well. Configure your clients network properties. What exactly are you having trouble with?
 
Again, please read the manual to your router and figure out your DHCP range and post it here. Once you do that we can tell you what IP's are safe to use and how to set it up on your machine.
 
No need to read the manual to get your IP segment. Go to a dos prompt and run ipconfig /all ex. C:\ipconfig /all
That'll give you your IP info and since your still on DHCP you can draw conclusions about your IP range. Manual never hurt anybody though. May give you some needed information about how to do what you'd like to do though I wouldn't hold my breath over SOHO network gear documentation.
 
router might be able to do static mappings.... maps your mac address to an IP so you can still use DHCP yet get the same address.

ipconfig /all


Take the mac addres... Enter it in the page with the IP you want. .Done
