can't get internet behind router with static ip

Hi,
I've set my PC's IP to 192.168.0.10 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0
I've set the gatway ip to the gateway ip of my router.

And yet, I can't get acces to internet or even to router anymore. what
am i doing wrong ?

Since you can't get access to even the router, that suggests that your
IP addressing is wrong. You didn't mention the IP address of the router
so I can't help you further!

Why set your PC's IP manually, at all. Almost every time this happens it's
because the user configured an IP and figures that's all that's necessary.

Did you set the DNS name?
Did you set the gateway?

Turn on DHCP in the router. There's almost no value to using static IP's on
your network. Even those people who claim they absolutely must use some
specific value, will find it easier to let the DHCP server give out a
specific IP address to each MAC address.

router ip address is 172.201.204.167
its gateway ip address is 81.145.240.243
which one of those should i use as default gateway in my TCP/IP
settings ?

no, i need static ip in order to map ports on the router for using
specific software that use specific ports. So i have assigned an ip to
those port in my router config tool.

Did you set the DNS name?
no

Did you set the gateway?
yes, but as i asked : should it be the router ip or the gateway ip ?

ok, i figured it out.
i was entering the wrong gateway ip. I had used the gateway ip
specified in my router config tool, whereas I should have just used the
ip of my router (192.168.0.1) as a gateway
everything's sorted out
thanx

It doesn't matter, neither will work because your IP address that you
have configured for your PC is not on the same network as your router!

What are you doing with 172.201.204.167??

Why that? Why not use DHCP and accept the router defaults?

Does the router allow a DHCP reservation?

Yes but the address on your PC needs to be on the same network as the
router, otherwise you'd need a router to reach your router!

So the 172 address wasn't the address of the router then.

No, you do _not_ need a "static" IP. You need an IP that won't change.
It's not quite the same. You can ensure that those specific IPs are used
using DHCP, and then everything will be set correctly.

And, as you were told, you set it wrong. If you just set your computer to
GET a dynamic IP and wrote down the values you got, you'd be a lot further
ahead. But it's still a heck of a lot of trouble for no purpose.
