Establishing an IP address for port forwarding
 

I moved and my roommate uses a different router from the one that I used to use. Now I can't figure out how to set up my TCP/IP settings so that I can connect to the internet and make use of the ports that I want forwarded. The router address is 192.168.0.1. Can I get some help?

Default gateway is wrong, input the router's IP address (192.168.0.1)

what about DNS?

That should be the IP address of the router as well. The router should basically acts a DNS relay. In other words, the computer connects to the router, which connects to your ISP's DNS server, or possibly to OpenDNS.

Excellent, I'll try it out and let you know how it goes. Thanks guys.

So I followed what you guys said to do and it still didn't work. I tried following the guides at:

Here's my current internet settings from ipconfig:

I don't know what to do at this point. I can connect to the internet fine, but my ports just don't seem to be forwarded. I'm connected to the router via an ethernet cord and there is a Powerbook G4 12 inch connected via wireless. What am I doing wrong?

Could it be getting blocked somehow by my modem? It's a SpeedTouch 516/536/546[i] v6 Multi-User ADSL2+ Gateway

can you post a screenshot of what you put into the port forwarding screen?
