Netork quickie (I hope)

Evening all!

Quick (and probably stupid) question here!

My flatmates and I are sharing a telewest connection through a linksys BEFSR41 router and a Netgear WG602 wireless access point.

Now, aside from some other issues that I may come back to you on if I can't get them sorted, all works fine when the machines are picking up an IP address via DHCP. However, I want my machine to have a manually assigned IP, but when I set this up, although the machine connects to the access point fine, I can't actually access the web.

Am I not doing something blindingly obvious here?

Router address 192.168.1.1
My TCP/IP settings

IP 192.168.1.105
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 192.168.1.1

Any ideas?

Have you got your DNS server set to 192.168.1.1?

I'm off to hang my head in shame. I'd left the darn field blank!


Thanks, John!
