Could I please get some assistance on setting up a static IP?

[nicklk]

Ok, back story.

I moved into my new apartment around a month or so ago, part of the apartment lease includes free internet. The internet is a LAN set up, but when we moved in, we just plugged in our wireless router to the cat5 outlet in the wall and had it set up on automatically get the IP address. Usually it was 192.168.X.X I have a Linksys Wireless G router, never've had an issue with it, and we also used my gf's AirPort and had no issues using it the same way.

Ok, two weeks ago....the internet goes out. We are still connected to the network, but we arent getting any information from them.

Ok, so I ask them whats up they come to my place and they have been beating around the bush with their repair tech........short story is that they are fuckin retards and dont know what they are talking about.

Ok, yesterday stopped by the office and they said I needed to input a different IP address....so I did so, and did nothing.

So stopped by today and they gave me a whole thing to input. This is what it says:

Static IP
Unit: 814

IP address 10.1.8.114
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 10.1.8.1
DNS Server 4.2.2.2

Ok, so I plug my computer directly into the wall and set up the TCP/IP to what exactly it says.....and my internet works!!!!

Now I need to set up my wireless router to read this infomration.

I've put it into the wireless connection in the network connections and it doesnt work. I set up a static ip through the router going into the admin part of the linksys router and it doesnt work.

Sooooo could anyone please help me out!

Thanks!

If you have the static info entered into the WAN side of the router, then that is half the battle. I don't see in your description where you reset your PCs TCP/IP settings back to obtain automatically. You will need to get another 192.168.1.xx from the DHCP in the router. The static is just the public IP address, so this is okay. If the WAN shows the valid config you set up, and the PC is pulling a valid 192.168 address and not surfing, let me know. I will monitor this thread as much as I can, and get you through to the other side...

His problem is that he's not just hooking up one computer... he wants to connect his own private network, so he needs his router's WAN side to take the 10.1.8.114 IP address, and they've apparently stopped offering DHCP service.

Nick - does your router have a DHCP server?

What router doesn't these days? :)

I figured it out....I ended doing this to the router software, and I had to clone the MAC address and it worked.
