IP & DNS settings needed - can anyone help?

Hi,

I recently changed my router to WEP to enable my Nintendo DS to access the net - all was fine until recently - all computers connect fine but the DS has suddenly 'decided' it doesn't want to connect - unable to obtain 'IP address please check DHCP settings'

I need the following info, but don't know where to get it - seems to be hundreds of different numbers in the router settings:

IP address
Subnet Mask
Gateway
Primary DNS (no idea where this is...)
Secondary DNS

It used to connect automatically before ("auto obtain IP and DNS") I don't know why it suddenly changed??

Any help much appreciated!

Dan.

Hi try

IP address 192.168.0.3 if you have only 1 pc or 192.168.0.7 as a better range
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.0.1
Primary DNS (no idea where this is...) 192.168.0.1
Secondary DNS 192.168.0.1

192.168.0.1 is your router
192.168.0.2 would normally be PC1
192.168.0.3 would normally be PC2

and so on
