Before you ask, I'm doing it so that I'll be able to do some port forwarding to make it so that uTorrent isn't so gosh darn sluggish. I can't even pick up any seeders half the time.
Here's the problem...with Windows, when picking a specific IP to use, it asks you for more than that, right? Under the TCP/IP Properties of a connection (mine happens to be a wireless one through a router), if you choose to select a specific IP, it will ask for...
IP
Subnet mask
Default gateway
Preferred DNS server
Alternate DNS server
Now, I know how to find those. The catch? My CMD only gave me one DNS server option. Windows demands that you have a different alternate, but it won't give me one.
How can I get around this problem? CMD's ipconfig /all refuses to give me but one DNS server and I intercourse ing need that alternate...or no static IP.
What brand/model is your router?

linksys WRT54G
Regardless, this thread is now useless because I was informed that I
can't currently set up a static IP anyway because my ISP will just nullify it and send me whatever IP they want because apparently you have to pay for a static one and I didn't know that.

so lock this thread, i will
