I am a relative new mac use,r and had no problems using a manual ip configuration for my router before upgrading to leopard from 10.4. As soon as I upgraded I can't connect to the internet when trying to dedicate my ip (192.168.... type). I tried using TCP/IP (manual setting), using my subnet mask and router address and it simply won't connect. It connects fine when using DHCP and letting it assign the address. It's peeving me to no end. Anyone have a suggestion? I'm pretty well verse with my router and havent changed anything since upgrading.

Are you putting name servers in as well?

Why do you need to specify an IP?
Even if you do, why not use a persistent DHCP lease?

It's just much easier when setting up my port forwarding on my router if im using the same ip. I'm not familiar with named server. In the ip4 I dont think I need them.

If you're using manual IP settings, you need to also enter DNS server info. So yes, you do need them.

Just put the internal IP address of the router in the DNS field. Most routers will figure that out. You must have had something similar under Tiger. A static address requires a specified DNS server. If you have an old cranky router and that doesn't work, you many have to contact your ISP and get the DNS servers they want you to use.

Just as a side note, I too prefer static IPs for my machines for port forwarding of particular services, always knowing network locations etc. but found it preferable to just set up the assigned IPs of each machine directly in my router (by pairing each MAC address to a particular IP) and then leaving the individual machines on DHCP. The router always assigns the right IP to each machine when they hook up so I am able to rely on each machine having the right IP but I still enjoy the benefits of having the machines being on DHCP ... the benefits being that my laptop (most frequently) and my other machines (on occasion) still work flawlessly when I am roaming onto another network (e.g. a WiFi hotspot or at a friend's house). Having a fixed IP set at the machine level will usually screw you up (or at least require you to change network settings) to roam with your machine.
