Setting up a Static Ip for Mac Os X on an Actiontec GT 701 WG So One Can Set up Port Forwarding

  1. Set DNS to start at 192.168.0.100. The point here is to start it above where it usually starts at.
  2. Set your TCP/IP connection to use ‘DHCP with manual address’. This is how one does this in Mac OS X, I’m not sure about other OSs.
  3. Set your IP to 192.168.0.11, or any other number below what you set DNS to start at.

This will set up a static IP in a DHCP environment, e.g. you don’t have to set all of the computers on the network to use a static IP. And, you can now successfully set up port forwarding.
