Were going to try a static IP, below is the steps to accomplish this.
Changing your IP from DHCP to a Static address in Vista is similar to Windows 7, but getting to the correct location is a bit different. Open the
Start Menu, right-click on
Network, and select
Properties.
The Network and Sharing Center opens…click on
Manage network connections.
Right-click on the
network adapter you want to assign an IP address and click
Properties.
In this case yours would be the wireless connection not shown in the image below.
Highlight
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) then click the
Properties button.
Now change the IP, Subnet mask, Default Gateway, and DNS Server Addresses. When you’re finished click
OK.
The addresses you need to enter are in the image below. They are based off the information you gave me earlier.
The DNS server addresses listed above are Googles DNS servers. To set your ISP's DNS server here you must contact them, but either service will provide the same function. Click here to get an explanation of what a DNS servers does.
You’ll need to close out of Local Area Connection Properties for the settings to go into effect.
I recommend a computer restart. To confirm use 'ipconfig' like you did to get the IP address you listed above this post.
