for some reason it dose not like it when i try to define a static ip address. it dose not mind me defining the DNS servers but it don't like when i define the IP address, do you guys have any idea as to what why this is

[Uforia77]

maybe it just doesnt like you?

why do you need to static it anyway? i cant see an advantage in choosing your own, when you could rather just hide it

[evil_one275]

the reason i am doing it is so i can port forward properly, unless you know a way to do that with out having a static ip address

If you are trying to locally define a static IP, you need to turn off the DHCP server on your router, then in your wireless adapter settings you need to define the settings:

IP: 192.168.1.36 (The ip you want)
Subet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (Most routers have this as their IP address, but yours might be different)

Then in Prefered DNS server, put your router IP address again, you can leave the second one blank.

With this method though, ALL computers on the network need the info put into them, because the router won't automatically assign a IP address Though you might want to try it first while leaving DHCP server turned on, it might still work?
