whats the default gateway?

[Robert Blackwell]

There are a couple of computers on my network that I'd like to assign a
static ip. One is a local webserver for projects, and another has
restrictions from our router so it can't use the internet. Therefore, when
the ip's change, I have to change the shortcut properties to the webserver
on all comps, and log into the router and make sure that it is still
blocking services on that other computer.

192.168.0.6
255.255.255.0
In the properties of tcp/ip what do I put for the default gateway...would
that be our router?
192.168.0.1?

TIA

Robert,

The router should be the default gateway, yes.

Okay, well the one computer I just tried that on can no longer access the
web. How do I fix that ?

Robert,

From the one computer that you tried, and from one computer that works properly,
provide ipconfig information.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.
Identify operating system (by name and version) with each ipconfig listing.

Thanks
