Re: Wireless Question

Not sure if this will help so feel free to ignore.

You won't get a static from Virgin so I'm assuming your router is acting as a DHCP server that dishes out IP addresses to anything you attach to your network.

I don't know your particular router but there should be the facility to either switch off the DHCP functionality or , preferably, to reserve a range of IP addressed that can be used by you to assign as a static address. Set up your PC with a static in that range and all should be well. (famous last words...)

I used portforward.com to set up bittorrent and although the instructions stated you should set up a static IP, which I did on my PC, it worked just as well on my laptop with a dynamically assigned IP!!!

The screen grab you've posted looks OK, although if I were you I'd set up some encryption.
