| Configuring The Router (Cont’d) |
You need to find now where DHCP configuration is located in your router control panel. On our router this was located at Home, DHCP. There look for a configuration called “Static DHCP”.

Configuring our router to always assign the same IP address to our computer was really easy. On the drop-down box called “DHCP Client” we had a list of all computers connected to our router. So it was just a matter of selecting our computer from that list (which was called “Gabe”), clicking on “Clone”, selecting Enable and then clicking on Apply.

With this configuration in place, our PC will always have the same IP address, so we won’t lose the configurations we made before.
Now it is time to check if everything was correctly configured. Enter your P2P program, click on Connect and now you will get a high ID or “open” status (instead of “firewalled”), follow the red arrow on Figure 21. On eMule we can run again its internal test (Option, Connection, Test Port) to see if your configuration was done right, see Figure 22.
