    Any help would be much appreciated, basically we have a router in our house and 3 of us connect wirelessly. I wanted to play Pro evo and other games online but I can't seem to connect to other computers and the same for them.

    I tried setting my computer as a static IP but I could see my wireless connection but couldn't connect to the internet? Another question is, if I'm trying to port forward, should I be doing it on the router or the PC I'm on?

    Any help would be welcomed, when I tried to set a staic IP I used the instruction on port forward . com

    Just managed to get this to work for myself.

    I don't think you need to set up a static address because you can associate the port forwarding to a machine name. see http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netopia/2247NWG-VGx/

    Whilst you are on the router configuration you will need to change the setting on the firewall section. I had to put it down to low to get it to work.

    You will also need to add an exception into windows xp firewall. I presume thats what you are using. I'm not sure what port number pro evo uses.

    Hope this helps
