I have a "peak" wireless router and it keeps changing my internal IP address. I had a netgear wireless router for a short time and i could configure that to allow "static IP" so each pc would get the same IP everytime they connected. I have 3pc's and a laptop (wireless connection) connected. Is there anyway around this ? I host games so its causing a few problems as i have to constantly have to reconfigure the fowarded to ports to the different IP.
 
Thanks for the quick reply, will i have to set "DCHP" to disabled in my router configs. It doesn't matter about the other pc's getting different IP's aslong as mine stays fixed.

as a note, if you have dhcp enabled for your other machines you might need to change the range it gives out.

For example if you set your machine to 192.168.1.100 and the router gives out 192.168.1.100 onwards then you might get a clash if your machine is switched off at the time the other machines are give an IP from the DHCP pool.

To get round this you can change the range so the router gives out 192.168.1.101 onwards or you could always give your computer the IP of 192.168.1.150 so it won't clash unless you have 50 machines on your network :p[/QUOTE

Ok, bear with me. I have just set my static IP as 192.168.1.1, do i no have to set the range to go from 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.xxx - this would now mean the router would give the pc's (apart from mine) ip address starting at 192.168.1.2 onwards

The "Time Expired(s)" is counting down ????
