    why are you concerned about your TCP/IP settings? What operating system are you using?

    You can hit the [Prnt Scrn] key and paste into mspaint and save as a jpg. But if that's too much trouble don't worry. One thought I had is the settings could be hidden but maybe not. The answers to L31mr0d's questions would be helpful. Any more info would be good.

    It might be because your computer using DHCP. Whic assing your pc and IP. If you want to see the Ip setting just type cmd in run, the type ipconfig /all

    Thanks, I'm running xp pro. when i run ipconfig /all the cmd screen just flashes. If they are hidding where can they be found?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu


    To see the output run cmd, then type ipconfig /all
    As for hiding turn off hidden files in explorer tools>folder options >view>show hidden files


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 383 ✭✭wex96


    I've taken a screen shot of ipconfig/all, maybe you tell me if there is a problem, please. thanks

    You're using DCHP, it's fine.

    OT: Good thing that last guy deleted his post. Should know better than to be commenting on firefox skins.

    DHCP is a method of automatically getting the TCP/IP information from the router, rather than having to specify all the settings yourself (known as static addressing).

    but my router is set at static ip, where's the conflict if there is one:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu


    conflict? what do you mean?
    Your router has an address that the internet sees-external, and the internal address that your pc<->router use to communicate. [192.168.1.*]


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 383 ✭✭wex96


    ok i understand, i thought they had to be the same. thanks for your help.:):)

    If you've signed up for a broadband package that gives you a static IP your routers external interface will have a static IP and be configured for this. On your internal network your router will more than likely be configured to use DHCP to assign IP addresses to devices that connect to it.

    OP the initial screen shot you posted looks a bit weird alright but from what you've posted i.e. the output from ipconfig /all this looks like more of a problem with XP than your router.

    workaccount behave :p
