I changed from dynamic to static IPs. I followed these steps: http://www.portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm and I think it worked fine.
So now I am trying to forward the ports following this proceedure: http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/BEFW11S4/eMule.htm
But when I enter my IP into the address bar of the browser I get a "connection refused..." type error. I have checked my firewall and my Web Server is open to my IP address. I don't know where to go from here...
I have a roommate who is out of town and may have set something up... but his computer is not hooked up so I don't understand how it could be inhibiting anything...
reset the router? I'm lost!
