Hi. When I type ipconfig into the command prompt, i get my IP as 192.168.1.5. I have a wireless D-Link G604-T and I am experiencing very slow download rates for Bitcomet. My question is "Do I need to configure a static IP address for my computer?" Is the IP address i get static or dynamic? Is the ip address i get in relation to the router or internet? How do I fix a static IP in relation to teh internet through a router?
I have looked everywhere and been unsuccessfull in finding teh information i would like. I hope one of you could help...
Thanks,
Tom

thanks, but ive port forwarded... that has made no real difference in speed... i think there must be a problem with my computer because teh speeds are just as slow without my router and with a modem instead...
Ive done a virus check, used teh tcpip.sys patch and everything i can think of. Ive tried with static and dynamic ip addresses... no difference.
Im really struggling now...
Any ideas?
Tom
