I have been trying to link me and my brothers computer over the net for a long time but haven't had any success so far. I just happened to have a Netgear RT314 Router and have basically been having the same dramas as d1sc g0lf3r. I am not the most tech savvy person in the world but have so far understood everything except this part:

Assigning your FTP Server a Static IP address
To assign a static IP address to your FTP Server you need to right click “My Network Places” and choose “Properties”. This will open the “Network and Dial-up Connections” window. Right click “Local Area Connection” and choose “Properties”. This will open the “Local Area Connection Properties” window choose “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and click the properties button. Check the radio button “Use the following IP Address” and enter an IP address that is not in use. If you are going to run the DHCP server on the router I suggest using something like 192.168.0.100 as this is not within the DHCP pool so you should not have any conflicts. If you are going to disable the DHCP server in your router you can assign your machine any IP address between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254
The Subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0
The Default gateway will be 192.168.0.1
The Preferred DNS server will be 192.168.0.1

I have Windows 98 so this part lost me. I assume this is all windows 2000? Could someone explain what's they're doing here; and where is the "192.168.0.100" address inputted in the serv-U configuring? And what if there are a few computers on the network; will setting this static IP affect their IP's?
