Hey all,

I am having a few problems setting up a static ip at the moment. The hardware I am using is a Linksys AM200 ADSL modem, an apple airport express router and a Dell XPS M1330 laptop with vista 32bit. I have tried to find my static ip by running a command window and typing "ipconfig /all" which does then list the wireless information as follows:

Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix :
Description : Intel<R> Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
Physical Address : 00-1D-E0-46-7A-4B
DHCP Enabled : Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled : Yes
Link-local IPv6 Address :... (normal IPv6 format address)
IPv4 Address : 10.0.1.197
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 10.0.1.1
DHCP Server : 10.0.1.1
DNS Servers : 10.0.1.1

Basically I thought I need an ip address in the form of 192.168.0.1 or similar, the other computer in the house that receives wireless internet lists its ip address as 10.0.1.199.

Any help with this would be great, I am clearly missing something obvious.
 
I see, for the settings on the AM200 there is a checkbox for local DHCP server enabled with the following extra information:

192.168.1.2 with addresses going to 192.168.1.254

Of course as expected the modem ip is 192.168.1.1

subnet mask is 255.255.255.0

There are also port forwarding options within the modem settings. So essentially is the best bet to use the modem's functionality when it comes to setup and port-forwarding and use the airport express only for making the whole shebang wireless?

I will check through available options in the airport express in a minute. Thanks for your help thus far.
