Anyone know much about routers??

Any IP addresses from 192.168.1.0-192.168.255.255 are private addresses used for LANs. The other address that you are seeing is your WAN address that others can see so they may connect to you. This address is provided by your ISP.

setting the WAN IP to a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx works fine as long as your ISP doesn't rotate your addy. I am on cable which is "dynamic", but I seem to always get the same IP I had before even if I reset my modem or leave it off for a few weeks and turn it back on when I return from vacations.

Anyway, an alternate method to using the static IP scheme is using a dynamic host such as www.dyndns.org. you can then replace the WAN IP used in your xml and ini files with what ever your dyndns address is. example http://eq.homedns.org instead of 97.82.210.231
