When you are setting your wireless adaptor for static IP, you are entering 192.168.0.136 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and the default gateway of 192.168.0.1, correct?

I was, yes. I changed 192.168.0.136 to 192.168.100.xx since you said it wouldnt work with just a zero.

Looking at your ipconfig, you do need to use the zero, that is the conflicting info I found in the manual one place it said .100 and another it said .0. try entering 192.168.0.136, netmask 255.255.255.0, and default gateway of 192.168.0.1. Are you using Windows zero config to handle your wireless connection or are you using a different utility from tha manufacturer of your wireless adaptor?

Im not quite sure what windows zero config is, but I am not using the program that came with the adapter, I perfer to just use the network connections tab in the control panel

Ok, after you put in the static IP info, right click on your wireless connection in the network connections tab and hit repair and see if that works.

Well I tried and and it didnt work. The thing I found odd was that it says it connected, refreshed my ip, and all that jazz. I also think this might help.

EDIT:these are the results from ipconfig after trying the static ip

Try opening internet explorer and typing 192.168.0.1 in the address bar. and hit enter

[tiptopfunnyman]

Yeah, that takes me to my internet gateway so that I can access my surfboard, I already know about that.

[cmw2010]

Try to access your surfboard configuration page and go to the DHCP server settings and limit the number to 10. And then try to set up static IP again with 192.168.0.136

[tiptopfunnyman]

nope that didnt work

i connected into the gateway and checked some things out, i posted this screenshot to see if you think i should be using any of this information

No, that is for the external WAN, there is nothing there for a LAN connection. Delete that picture.

[tiptopfunnyman]

ah okay, so this is what i have for DHCP

Try setting your IP Address at 192.168.0.136 your netmask at 255.255.255.0 ,your default gateway at 192.168.0.1 and set your preferred DNS server at 192.168.0.1

[tiptopfunnyman]

why would i do that, the DNS servers i have work because i manually configured them and they still work

[cmw2010]

It doesn't work when you connect with a static IP does it?
