Just reset router because i haven't logged in for a few years so forgot password anyway :




Hi i wanna port forward certain things on my router but i need to get a static ip
because if my router gives me a different ip every time my port wont work.

So i went into network connections, local area connection then went to internet protocol version 4 properties.

I ran the command ipconfig got my : Ethernet adapter local area connection info
an i written down my

IP, subnet mask an default gateway

Problem is when i click ok it says the following :

Warning multiple default gateways are intended to provide redundancy to a single network such as (intranet or the internet). They will not function properly when the gateways are on 2 seperate, disjoint networks such as one on the internet an one on the intranet. do you want to save this config

Can someone please help ! thanks :

I can give you more info on my router

Im with virgin media
ive got a netgear wgr614 v9

I have my ethernet from my modem going into the router then an ethernet in the router going into the PC.

i also have an xbox 360 ethernet aswell

Thanks for you help

so i find the mac address an then do what, sorry i cant remember what to do as the last time i entered all this info in was a good few years ago but ive just had to reset my router after forgetting the password.
