How do you setup Static IP address for Win98SE PC ?

I change the IP address to a static under TCP/IP settings, and set default
gateway at 192.168.0.1, but I still can't connect to Internet.

Not enough information . . . We need to know how you connect
(dial-up, cable, wireless) and with what hardware and software.

I don't know much about it, having only had BB for about 6
months, but YOU don't assign IP addresses, your ISP does. So the
field should be left blank. The gateway - at least on my machine
- is also blank. Also, many ISP's do not assign static addresses
unless requested to do so and some charge extra. I get a
different address every time I turn on my router. Which, unless
you have a business or website, is better and safer.

Sorry about that.

I'm trying to set my local IP address on my Win98PC. It's located on a LAN
behind a router which is connected to the ISP through DSL high speed modem.
I don't like DHCP running on existing PC's because the router occassionally
changes IP addresses. I want to keep all my local computer IP addresses on
the LAN fixed. The Win98PC is cable connected to the router.

I found the TCP/IP configuration page for the Ethernet adapter but I'm
confused as to what tabs have to be filled out. As I said, I made the IP
address static 192.168.0.xxx, Assiged the default gateway as 192.168.0.1
(router IP). Do I have to fill out the DNS Server tab as well, and if so
what info is required ?

You'll need to add the DNS Server IP addresses from the router configuration, to the
DNS Server Search Order, on the DNS Configuration tab.

Thanks for the help. That was more complicated than I thought. Got it
running.
