now I was able to add the static ip but when I plug my laptop onto it, I can't access the internet. &nbsp;it received an ip from the router's dhcp but I can't access the internet. &nbsp;do I need to create a nat? &nbsp;I read something that latest versions of asa ios come in blank hence new nat needed? anyone?

yes. &nbsp;are you running 8.2 or earlier or are you running 8.3 or later?<br />
<br />
the nat syntax differs between 8.2 and 8.3.

the nat syntax differs between 8.2 and 8.3.

<div>
8.3... do you happened to have the syntax? otherwise, i could google it.... thanks

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
