How to set up fixed IP address on PC at home in network
I want to fix one PC at home to 192.168.1.205, so that my port forwarding always routes to this PC. It works fine in my home network but now this PC can't connect to the Internet.
I need to know what to enter for Preferred and alternate DNS server? I had this set up previously but can't remember what I entered, I thought it was 4.3.3.3 and then alternate 4.3.3.2. But that won't allow the PC to get to the Internet.
I've entered 192.168.1.1 where it says "Use the following IP address (plus 255.255.255.0 for subnet mask and 192.168.1.1 for Default gateway).
So the home network works fine. All computers can read all other computers.
But what do I enter for Preferred and Alternate DNS server? I'm in Baltimore, MD

wmiller - I see the settings now.
any idea what a setting of 4.3.3.3 / 4.3.3.2 is? I had gotten that from Netgear support when setting up my PC so that port forwarding went to it. I also remember they gave it to me because of my location in eastern US.
But I'm good-to-go. Thanks.
