Yes, you can configure your PC with fixed IP address. Specially, you need to setup a server explored to outside world. But be carefully not to put fixed IP addresses into the DHCP IP pool. It may cause trouble. Again, this fixed IP address must located at the same subnet as gateway IP setting.

For example, in the Windows 98, Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Network -> TCP/IP -> Properties -> IP address Tab, enter IP address as 192.168.1.1 (where gateway IP address is 192.168.1.254, subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, DHCP server’s IP address pool from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.199) and subnet mask as 255.255.255.0.

Next, DNS Configuration tab, enter your ISP DNS addresses or gateway IP address (192.168.1.254). BILLION BROADBAND ROUTER has DNS relay function. It will relay your DNS request to real DNS server and send the result back to sender.

Finally, Gateway IP Address tab, enter the gateway IP address (192.168.1.254) in this field and click Add button.
