Ok, I have a network at home with 3 PCs connected to my Belkin, 4-Port Ethernet Cable Router. The problem is getting various messenger programs to let me send files (I can receive them) and games to allow me to play IP to IP (most notably, Command And Conquer Generals).
When my PC is hooked up to the router, it says my IP is 192.168.2.39. When it's unplugged and the cable is fed directly to the PC, the IP is totally different. I've been told I need to place my PC in the DMZ, which will mean there should be zero problems with files/ports, etc, which I'm happy to do. However, it says I need to input the IP of the PC I want to place in the DMZ, and it only lets me change the last figure in the IP address for this, not the '192.168.2.' before it. The IP of the PC is, as I've said, nothing like the one when it's hooked up to the router.
I cannot figure out why it won't let me place the PC outside the firewall and into the DMZ, why it won't let me put in the other IP.
Any help would be appreciated, the router has solved the problem of me not getting onto the PC due to others using it, but is driving me up the wall with it's firewall and port problems.
Cheers
