Re: Firewalled ?!!?!??!

OK, when you set up a static IP for your computer, make sure the IP you choose is NOT in the range of 192.168.2.2 - 192.168.2.100. Pick something like 192.168.2.200 .

As for security, my kids are on wireless and we choose to use mac addresses. In that way, only devices that we input their mac address into the router are allowed onto our router. (Yes, it's called a "mac address" but it has nothing to do with being a Mac. Both my kids are on PCs.)
