Static IPs are possible with the Netgear you assign the first to your Netgear router say: 192.168.10.1 and then assign the computers (under the network connection properties) 192.168.10.2 (upto 254) make sure the sub net is the same say 255.255.255.0 and put the default gateway of the router in.
You also need to ensure the DHCP service is turned off on the router. Not sure why you would want to do this though. I have the same Netgear and dynamic IP's served up by the router seems to work fine for me. Unless you are running web services?

If the router interface is 192.168.15.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 then you can statically asign anything from 192.168.15.2 through 192.168.15.254 > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chip Hart > Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 6:50 AM > To: Slim Devices Discussion > Subject: Re: [slim] WRT54G and static IPs > > Robin Bowes wrote: > > 1.
