Hi,

I recently changed over from Maxnet to TOT. TOT gave me a DLink DSL-526b router. While I am quite impressed with the speed I am having trouble getting an XBOX working on it. First the XBOX complained about an MTU setting. I logged into the router and figured out how to get that working. However, I not have a problem where it is complaining about NAT being "moderate". The solutions I have managed to find are to open a few ports and point them statically to the XBOX.

The problem is, I cannot seem to find anywhere in the router setup where I can statically assign an IP address. If I turn off DHCP complete I don't see any stuff for statically assigning either.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Is there an English phone number for TOT tech support? I googled for information about this problem and all the solutions that might help are in Thai.

Thanks,

Jeff

Statically Assigning an IP Address (page 82)

If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below:

Step 1

Windows XP - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.

Windows 2000 - From the desktop, right-click on the My Network Places > Properties.

Step 2

Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your network adapter and select the Properties button.

Step 3

Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on the Properties button.

Step 4

Click on the Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as

your network or the LAN IP address on your router.

Example: If the router’s LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1, make your IP address 192.168.1.X where X

is a number between 2 and 254. Make sure that the number you choose is not in use on the

network. Set the Default Gateway to be the same as the LAN IP address of your router

(192.168.1.1).

Set the Primary DNS to be the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.1.1). The

Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.

Step 5

Click on the OK button twice to save your settings.

Thanks. I know how to statically assign an IP address in Windows, but I want to know if there is something I have to do on the router to allow for static addressing?
