Ultima Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Did you set a static IP up for your computer outside of the router's DHCP range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computer88 Posted April 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 no the ip has not changed since i set up this computer but i have never had a problem with that.it is defintly a os problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Regardless, some routers have been known to behave weirdly like this (trust me, I've seen my fair share of such reports on the forum). Do try setting your NIC's LAN IP address statically and outside of the router's DHCP range, then forward the port again just to weed out possibilities.

computer88 Posted April 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 now i want to know why the router would sundley have to have the ip outside the dhcpo range and only do this after vmware was installed.but thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Well, VMware does install a virtual adapter, which might screw with some settings and maybe confuse the router. Or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computer88 Posted April 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 its really freaking weird. but that is somthing that should be put in the help file right at the top for router configuration.thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I wouldn't thank me just yet without any confirmation that setting a static IP does in fact help xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
