Under the "Internet Protocols (TCP/IP) Properties'" General tab there are a few options.

First, I have to choose between "Obtain IP Address Automatically" or "Use the following IP Address". If I choose the latter, I have to supply the IP I plan to use (within those available as discussed earlier), the DNS 255.255.255.0, and the Gateway. My question here is, is the gateway the routers LAN IP address, or is it the actual IP supplied by my modem? If it's the true IP of the modem, that may be a pain as my IP changes from time to time (usually after losing power).

Second, I have to choose between obtaining the DNS server automatically or supplying it. Don't I leave this with the automatic setting.

I'm sorry to have so many questions, and I have been reading about the subject, but sometimes it's better to talk with people who know than it is to read about it. [img]smile.gif[/img]
