    i have a fair idea how to setup portforwarding. the only ques i have is that when i am settin up the "static ip" address, will this have an effect on the other laptops/computer connected to the network. just it took me a while to set up the whole network n dont wana screw it up now by tryin 2 set up port forwarding on my own laptop! cheers

    If you have a static IP on your laptop, and all other addresses are assaigned by DHCP, then the DHCP server will skip the address you have assaigned to the laptop when its giving out addresses to new devices.

    If you have all your computers on static addresses, then the addresses never change and there is nothing to worry about.

    Like Aidan said, it should work fine if you have one static IP and then the rest assigned dynamically... if it doesn't you could always just change the PC back to dynamic IP addressing without hassle, you're not gonna mess up your network doing that

    Does the router not pick up the name of your PC in the port forwarding settings...

    i.e. can you not configure it to forward to a computer name, as opposed to an IP?
