Cable Forum - View Single Post - manually configuring IP and DNS addresses

I'm not really sure what you mean.

The problem I have is reconnecting to the internet when the computer is running, not when it is just after boot.

Or do you mean configuring the internet manually will cause a problem the next time I boot up?

Sorry, I'm a bit confused.

EDIT

Sorry, just reread what you wrote.

Sometimes my firewall blocks my IP address from contacting 194.168.4.100 - could this be a problem? I've got the free version of Zone Alarm, but then again I had this version with my old computer and never had a problem.

2nd EDIT(!)

Just checked with ZA - apparently this block is normal if it happens at boot as it stops the computer establishing an internet connection before ZA starts (?).
