To setup a Linksys router, open its IP in your Web browser. Unless you've
changed something, that would probably be http://192.168.1.1.
If you connect you'll be prompted for login (default leave blank) and
password (default "admin," which I suggest you change). The default for
local dynamic IP addresses is to enable the DHCP server. If you disable it,
you will set the IP addresses manually n the fields labeled "Static IP
address 1," etc.

Subject: Re: Renewing IP address
Thanks, Carl and Wayne.
1) Where does Windows get the IP address from? the router? When I plug in
an ethernet cable for a minute or two it seems to reset the address, and
there aren't any further problems even after I unplug the cable. So most
of the time, anyway, it seems as though the signal is actually ok and the
address just gets lost.
It happened just a few minutes ago. I plugged in an ethernet cable for
about two minutes. Now the cable is out and I have a notice saying that
the signal is excellent, and everything is working fine.
2) How do you manually assign them?
3) How do you know what to assign???
If you can point me to a good online explanation I'd be grateful, but the
ones I've found cover too much terrain and I can't tell what does and
doesn't apply to our two-computer network.

Linksys router.
For some reason the signal got dropped & Windows lost track of the DHCP
assigned IP address & this is just another reason why I manually assign
all my LAN IP addies.
