NO!
Have you actually absorbed anything that Raistlin has been saying?
- Turn ON the router's DHCP server.
- Set your PC to "Obtain IP address automatically" & "Obtain DNS Server addresses automatically".
- Note down what the IPs are (in the *details* section of the connection - you know where it is as you posted an earlier screenshot of it).
Then....
- Turn OFF the router's DHCP server.
- Manually assign the IP address, Default Gateway address, & DNS server addresses in your *PC's connection*.
A manual IP should probably be something like 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2 up to .99 are often used for manual IPs, and .100 & above used for DHCP assigned IPs. But the ranges depend on what the router is set for). The default gateway IP is the router IP (192.168.1.1). And the DNS server IPs are *what you should have found earlier*.
You *shouldn't* use the PC's own IP as one of the DNS server IPs - as I told you earlier in this very thread.
You *shouldn't* specify DNS addresses in the router - specify in the PC, *if* you know what they are.
The router itself should *automatically* obtain an IP from your broadband provider - and *automatically* obtain your provider's DNS server addresses.
