Try giving yourself a static ip outside the dhcp range. For example, make the router give DHCP leases from .100 > .107 and then assign yourself ip .110 .. I can't give a reason why to do this, other than thats how I've always done it, and seen it done.

I also run dd-wrt firmware on my router, and I have no issues. It should be as simple as you are making it.

Good luck!

All firewalls are off, and I actually have DHCP turned completely off since all my PCs have static IPs.

:frusty: I still don't like .100

use something else. I wish I was at home I could look at my router config.. i'm sitting at school tho

I've used .100 for as long as I can remember, with no problems until now :(

Well when did the problem start? After the isp switch?

Did you make any other router changes? or just the isp switch

go to the command prompt and type "ipconfig /all" to get the DNS address because the one you put in is wrong

The one I put in is the one it gave me. And if I was having DNS issues, I wouldn't be able to browse without using IPs.

I went from a WRT54GL with Roadrunner to a new WRT54Gv8 with Qwest.

Edit: I went ahead and set up OpenDNS, just to ensure that DNS problems were not the cause of this. No change so far :(

So you made the settings "Get DNS Automatically" and went to check it using ipconfig /all?
And you could use OpenDNS with your router and computer if it's a problem with the DNS, which I'm sure it is.

Also, can you repost the pic of your router config page?
I think you're using modded firmware....

Have you tried using PCconfig to forward your ports?

https://portforward.com/store/pfconfig.cgi

Also what client are you running if its Utorrent then follow the guide below.

I know it says WRT54Gv5 but I am hoping that not that much has changed from v5 to v8.

I know you said you already did this but I thought I would throw it in anyway.

Based on the screenshots he posted before, he's using Vista.
So the link would be:

Maybe that's whats doing it. Did you use dd-wrt with your old router?
