I have Linksys routers.... several of them.

you have completely overlooked my question.

The cable pipe coming in is running from a DHCP server. Well ya can't plug DHCP into a router, config the router as a gateway, and pipe it back out ALSO on DHCP.... it just don't freakin' work.....

the incoming pipe needs to be static. Fine. I run a simple ipconfig, get the numbers, plug it into the router, and SHAZAM!! functional routing to the systems...... BUT: it's only good from the morning to the evening because they constantly refresh their DHCP servers.... meaning, my DYNAMIC IP (remember, it's not static.... I'm forcing it at this point) has changed.......

so...... back to my original question: How the hell can I make a forced IP stick? Or is it not possible? If it's not possible, that's cool..... I just need to know so I can stop pulling my hair out here.
