Author Topic: In need of help with a linksys router-static IP.  (Read 843 times)

If anyone reading this is good with routers/internet, I'm in need of help.

I am having some trouble with my linksys WRT160Nv3 router. I am trying to set a static IP address up so I can port forward and host some games.
I tried doing this and it will not work (though I am connected to the internet with it)



(192.168.1.19 is my default settings thing btw, in replacement of 192.168.1.1)

I try port forwarding and stuff on it..just doesn't work at all and the ports remain closed.
I think I noticed the problem, my ROUTER settings didn't have a static IP.

This is what it looks like on auto (working for me atm):


On Static:


So when I select it^, and press Save Changes, I am unable to connect to the internet and that page itself and I had to reset my router and change it back to auto..(did that 10 mins ago)

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I tried lots of ways, googling solutions, but I couldn't find any.
ISP: TbayTel.
I also posted this in community support on a linksys forum, but I'm still awaiting a response.
