Anyone want to help me with creating a static IP address? I can't get it to work :/ | |||||||

I miss my Mac! I can’t seem to create a static IP address in Vista because I can’t find my DNS?! Also, I’m pretty dumb so not too much tech talk would be good Log in to see images!
Also, any help with torrents would be greatly appreciated! |

:S Well as I said I’m pretty dumb when it comes to this stuff. I downloaded utorrent so I could dl stuff from isohunt and other places but I didn’t realise it would be so complicated (for my little girly head) and it was asking all these things in set-up that I didn’t know about port forwarding and stuff :/ I Just want to be able to download torrents and I heard utorrent was the best way? |

statics are old, DHCP is the go – you need to punch a hole through your firewall for your torrent client. Give me a yell if it all goes pearshaped. |

Ehh, yeah I had heard of this DHCP thing, but I’m not too up on the tech stuff so I wouldn’t have a clue how to go about it, is there a website that can give me a runthrough do you know? So I shouldn’t waste my time with a static?

If you know what your router is, then do a google search on port forwarding for that particular router. |

Is that as opposed to utorrent or sites like isohunt? Sorry for being untech Log in to see images! |

get Azureus, then go to their site for a walkthrough – worked for me – and I’m thick as 2 short planks when it comes to port forwarding |

Yeh I went on portforward.com and did what it said for my router and that is when it came up telling me I couldn’t go any further unless I set up a static IP? |

Or, uh, just take advice from one person. Let me know if you need any help, I’ll let wasps carry on from here. |

Well I’m borrowing Moms PC til I get my Mac back from the shop so I definitely don’t want anything that is susceptible to bugs.
So I’ll stick with utorents while PCing. |

Honestly, everyone has the same problem when setting up their router etc. Torrents are a ****, but once you’ve got it right, and you’re connectable, your speeds will be so much faster.
Also, if you’re using public trackers, I’d stick to ThePirateBay and Mininova if I were you. Generally more reliable than the other public ones. |

Rad, because I was going to give up when it got too confusing, but if it’s worth it once it’s done I’ll do it. And thanks for the public trackers, I’ll give them a go. |
