I googled it... followed what I could read on it and screwed things up
completely.  I found a better solution.... through the modem I can assign a
static IP and attach it to a MAC address.... worked like a charm.

I now have learned how to use my modem to setup any device with any OS and I
can assign any IP I want.

Thanx though,
