I noticed in my router settings I can set a static IP there. There are already numbers entered there, even though it is not enabled, which seems to be an IP and default gateway through Comcast. IP starts with 50.129.xxx.xxx which makes sense to me.
However, in my windows settings for TCP IP I have a static IP set as 192.168.1.7. This isn't going to do me any good though right? If someone wants to connect to my hosted game in Halo PC through direct IP, 192.168.1.7 isn't going to work I'm sure.
Do I need to set the static IP in Windows to match what I see in my router settings that Comcast evidently inserted in case I wanted to use a static IP? I'm not network savvy. I'd like to set up a static IP for some games, and also being able to set up FTP between me and my cousin's computer across the country so I can transfer files to him quickly and easily.
