Networking With a Linksys 4 port router

[deaddog]

What is the best ip address to use for the router and 3 computers so that they can find each other everytime, if that is even possible without having to reboot one of them. For example 10.0.0.1 or does it matter. I am using win98 os.

the router should set itself at 192.168.1.1, which I don't know if you can change.

Let it do DHCP for your computers, as the default range should work fine unless you have another device that has to use that IP range. For example, I have my router set at 192.168.1.1 and my two computers (dynamically at first but now statically) at 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101

No one on the WWW should be seeing these addresses, so it only matters to you.

Yes you can change it I just wondered if there was any benefit to changing it

just go ahead and make em static, it should make the bootup a lil faster - windows doesn't have to request the #s from the router. You have a range of 254 IPs to use, so i don't think your going to run out of #s with your 4 port hub.
