Linksys Router (WRT54G) Help! Changing IP addresses!

[Doyal McVicker]

Hi Kevin,

The IP address you gave is the intranet (local Lan) address for one of your 
computers.  You need to make the router static on the intranet side. It is 
my understanding that you can have both static and DHCP running on the same 
router but I have not attempted it yet. If you will change the lan to static 
IP and assign each computer a address it most likely will end your problems. 
>From your message I assume you know how to forward a port in the WRT54G 
router. This is the same router I am using on my site.  I have assumed that 
you have administrator rites on the Lan and router.

If I can be of further help please let me know.
