what do you mean wrong ip?
you have internal and external ip's
lets say the external ip is 207.206.24.2
then you hook up a router, then the internal ip will be what the default is (lets use a dlink in this example) then the dilink will give out ip's of the 192.168.0.x (the default for dlink is 192.168.0.1)
now if you connect it up to a M$ router then the wan port of the M$ would be 192.168.0.x
but the defalt for m$ is 192.168.2.1
so the M$ router wil then give out 192.169.2.(2-254)
wo any machine hooked up tpo the M$ router will have an internal ip of 192.168.2.x
while the external ip (from the isp) will be 207.206.24.2

hi, thnx for response :) i mean internal ip adres let me explain the situation a bit,

when i plug my internet cable directly to my network card the dhcp of the cable modem gives me the following ip:

ip: 212.92.68.232
subnet mask: 255.255.224.0
gateway: 212.92.95.254

but when i plug my internet cable in to my wan port on router i get this:

Physical Address: 00-50-fc-c8-df-2f
I.P. Address: 212.92.92.90
Network Mask: 255.255.224.0
Default Gateway: 212.92.95.254
DHCP Client: Enable

mindly strange i guess, thnx for the help
bye

Now, if you are paying for a stqatic ip, then you need toclone the mac adress of the computer (most routers have this feature in the router configuration page)
they use the mac address to determine who to give what static ip's to
