    Click the button to make it assign the address automatically and it should do it for you.

    And some advise, SP2 has not been supported for quite some time by Microsoft, upgrade to SP3 and leave auto update turned on.

    If you want to use a static IP address then enter these figures when using that Dlink router:

    IP Address: 192.168.0.10
    Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    Gateway: 192.168.0.1
    Preferred DNS: 192.168.0.1
    Alt DNS: leave empty, not needed

    Shouldn't the Gateway address be 192.168.0.1 or does this change when using a static IP address. I still have a lot to learn in this area so excuse my ignorance if I am wrong:).

    You type in nothing, select "Obtain an IP address automatically" and you're set.
