Hi,

I have a Linksys WAG354G, now i dont want it to give me a new ip every day. What settings do i have to change for it to work?

ring your isp up and ask to subscribe to a static ip package

there not that much i pay £5 for a single static ip from bt bb

Depends what side of the router it's getting a dynamic IP - if it's on your internet connection there probably isn't much you can do (other than coughing up for a static IP).
On the LAN side, you could set the router to dish out the same IP to your machine's MAC address.

how often do NTL change your IP address? as mine hasn't changed in the past 4-5 months at least

They don't force you to change it.

Ahh sorry i was meaning within my LAN, as it means right now i cant port forward really.

i just took the easy way and set static ips which i need to port forward to on 3 machines 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.102 and then set dhcp to dish out ip addresses for other machines that don't matter from 192.168.1.110 onwards, thus avoiding conflicts

I just set IP addresses on the computers instead of setting up static DHCP on the router.

EDIT: Just had a look (same router as yours) doesnt do static DHCP :confused:

do this..

start, run
cmd

ipconfig /all

copy these..
ip address
subnet mask
default gateway
dns servers..

now open control panel, network conenctions, go into properties of the tcp/ip connection and type them in

to make it easier i'd set it to 192.168.1.123 or similar, you can also set your router's dhcp starting ip (say 192.168.1.105) -which would leave loads free for you to use..
