LAN problems

Heaven Can Wait · 7 Feb 2007 at 19:23

Using a netgear router, tried setting up a LAN for gaming, not a clue how to, I can share files via my network places etc, but it doesn't see anything when trying to play warcraft 3 etc.
I didn't use the 'set up a wireless network for a small home or office' to set it up, should i do this?

I have no idea what that means.
Router is the netgear wgt624.
only thing ive used is the 192.168 to set it up.

Done!
Will test it now, does this need to be done on computer and laptop?

Doesn't look like that fixed it.
Thanks a lot anyway

Router has an inbuilt firewall, dont have one on the computer.
disabled windows firewall, nothing.

Pretty sure that this problem isn't just wc3, having trouble setting up a static IP address even, although both the computers can connect to the internet and share files, I think i should have took a little more time sorting it out

any help would be welcome, if not ill add it to the long list of things i want to sort out, but cant

Still no luck in getting it sorted, think I have a static IP address now though,
However the address I used to put in (192.168.0.1) which is default, has now changed, not sure what too though haha.

If I can get find the address to enter and get back to it ill post some screenshots to see if you can spot whats wrong, or if you like try and hack me?

Please help someone, Thanks.

Reset the modem, everything is back to default now.
I hate networking too, seems most people do due to the amount of replies

Few screenies of the current settings, do you have any idea what needs changing?

Ipconfig (looks messed)

Yeah did that before I reset it all.

Changed the DNS address
* Primary DNS settings are 193.38.113.3
* Secondary DNS settings are 194.117.157.4

From the telewest site

And now the IP address is static.

Not a clue where to go from here.

Thanks a lot for the help by the way, wish i could get this sorted, having a poker night tommorow, wouldn't mind having a LAN session as well.

Done that, nothing.

I have a switch, pretty sure its not that.

The laptop is on the net, we can play games across the net.
Just the LAN that doesnt want to work.
