Static IP / Port forward help please !

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 :

If you have the option associate your mac address with a specific ipaddress within the router. Without knowing more about your router it is hard to tell you how to do it but that is what you need to do.

First determine the mac address of the device that you use to connect to the internet: How to Find the MAC Address of Your Computer: 19 steps

Second from within the Netgear administration associate that address with the ipaddress that you want. On my Netgear router that is under LAN IP setup. Since you get the ipaddress from your router that is where you set up a static ipadress and not in Windows.

After you are done you will need to do ipconfig release/renew or restart your computer.
