Did you remember to follow this guide to set up a static local ip? http://www.portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm

You open up the web browser and type in the IP of the router (192.168.1.1 usually) in order to get the router to make setting changes. Is that what you are talking about? It doesn't say anything on the page I linked to about using your browser for anything.
