798595 2009-08-06 07:25:00 What Firewall are you running ?

Have you tried turning it off, then ipconfig, to see if the gateway is detected ?

Just checked the Firewall on my friends PC and the firewall was turned off. Now turned on and hopefully it should be sorted out.

IP of Google. Try pinging it-Should tell us if this could be a DNS problem

Other way round...the firewall could block the internet connection...obviously not:p

798598 2009-08-06 10:06:00 Why not obtain the ip address automatically? zataka (14895)
798599 2009-08-06 10:09:00 Because depending on what you want to do, some things want or need a static ip, so it'll work Speedy Gonzales (78)
798600 2009-08-06 10:10:00 The OP is trying to port forward. When you set a port forward it is to a specific IP address.

The router will assign a different IP to the computer every time it starts up(DHCP), therefore fendering the port forward useless.
