Vista Ultimate

I?m using Vista Ultimate on my desktop and I?m trying to remote access from my wireless laptop. My desktop is attached by cable to my wireless router and when I try to assign my desktop an IP address I no longer can access the internet and only connect local. Any ideas or is there a setting I am missing?

I am right clicking on Network Properties from the start menu then clicking on properties on the next window I click on view status and then properties again, I am trying to assign my IP address using the Internet Protocol Ver 4(TCP/IPv4) and when I assign it, I then lose the internet connection.

Any help is appreciated.

 
Yes, I am assigning the same DNS address as my router. It works fine on XP PRO but I just noticed this on Ultimate.
 
This thing is going to give me more grey hair than I already have, Just Pinged the DNS server and OK, Pinged internet site by name and OK. Looked in the TASKBAR and did a mouse over the internet connection and quess what, connected to local and internet. Problem solved until next time.
 
assign a 4.2.2.[1-6] as a secondary?

i've successfully assigned an IP as well as forced it an IP by my router. i've even fixed a minor bork-up with an ipconfig/flushdns (never used it til now; never needed to)
