Q. I have a home network. The router has port forwarding, which you set by setting which IP address the ports are forwarded to. But as the computers come and go and are restarted, the router keeps assigning them different addresses, leading to the ports forwarding to different machines all the time, which I'm constantly manually correcting. I've tried setting up the computers with manual IP settings, or using DHCP with a manual IP address, but neither one will work- they only work when configured to use DHCP, and then the addresses keep changing. An old router I had let you reserve an IP address and always assign it to the same MAC address, so the same machine always had a static local IP, but my Linksys Wireless router doesn't appear to offer that. Any idea?
A. Depending on what model Linksys router you have, you can flash it to use a third-party firmware that opens up more options including assigning a static IP to a MAC address (so your computer will always have the same IP).
I don't believe there's a way you can do this with the default Linksys firmware. Again what you want is assigning an IP to a MAC Address which is in the DHCP server settings.

A. If your ISP dynamically assigns your IP, you can't use static addressing.
How can i port forward my wii?
Q. i have a wrt54g2 router and i think i need to port forward my wii because every time i play mw reflex i get an error, unable to connect to host. I know the password for the linksys page but i dont know how exactly to portforward.
A. Port forwarding might help as it maximises your connection. To port forward with the Wii, you need to set up a static IP address for it.
First, configure your router:
Log in to your router.
Click on Applications and Gaming.
On the Port Range Forward/Port Range page:
In the Application box, type "Wii".
In the Start box, type "1".
In the End box, type "65535".
In the Protocol box, select "Both".
In the IP Address box, type the number that you want your Wii's static IP address to be.
Tick the Enable box.
Click on Save Settings at the bottom of the screen.
Now your router is set up for port forwarding, you can configure a static IP for your Wii:
Click on Wii Options (bottom left on main Wii menu).
Click on Wii Settings.
Wii System Settings 1: Click right arrow.
Wii System Settings 2: Click on Internet.
Internet: Click on Connection Settings.
Connection Settings: Click on a connection (1, 2, or 3).
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Click on Wireless.
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Click on Manual Setup.
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Enter SSID (you'll find this on the back/bottom of your router).
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Select type of security (WEP, WPA etc; you'll find the key on the back/bottom of your router).
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Auto obtain IP and/or DNS? Select No.
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Advanced Settings: Enter the IP address that you inputted into your router, the subnet mask, default gateway and DNS details (to find these details, on your computer, click Start, then Run. Type "cmd" and click Ok. In the command prompt window, type "ipconfig/all". This will display the required details).
Connection (1, 2, or 3): MTU Value: type "1500".
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Save settings.
And that should be it - your Wii's Internet connection should now run smoothly. If that didn't work, then sorry I have no other suggestions without seeing your setup.
