I'm trying to get my Yahoo Messenger's Webcam to work. But because of the firewall in my Linksys router it doesn't go through. I think the forwarding option will take care of my problem. But to use the forwarding I would have to disable the DHCP option. Will both my PC's work if I disable DHCP? How will they get an IP address? Any info would be a big help.
