I'm using Windows XP Professional, and a wireless USRobotics router. I
have 3 pc's at home, and my internal IP addresses can change, depending
(I'm assuming) on what order the pc's are turned on/off over time. What
I'd like to do is setup so that my main desktop always has the same IP,
mostly for 'port forwarding' reasons. For example, while my main pc's
internal IP is usually 192.168.2.2, if other pc's are booted up first,
than this pc's address can change to .3 or .4, which screws up any port
forwarding rules I setup. How would I set it up so that this one pc is
always 192.168.2.2 and doesn't change? Is this something I would do
within the router, or within Windows itself? I don't really care about
whether the other two pc's change or not.
Thanks!
