    Set your computer IP address to be a static IP address.
    As best I can (following Google instructions) I have done this- just got hold of a player and got them to log in- working again.

    Thanks so much.

    I'm bound to ask, and this isn't because I don't appreciate the wonderful gift that is FG, but is there a way to make this things more idiot proof- I'm the idiot in this story; I promise I try hard- look things up when you suggest them here, make leaps of logic and try to get somewhere but FG is glorious (for me) when it works fine, and then I do something wrong (tick the wrong box- I had a very large file shared with PCs by mistake last time) or else my machine falls off the net and without PC knowledge then I can't really fix it.

    Apologies you're probably not the guy who I ought to be asking.

    Once again you are wonderful people.

    I just wish FG was easier to use for non-computer folk, y'know- idiots like me.

    Cheers goonalan

    The change to a static IP address didn't work- as soon as I put it in the PC fell off the internet and wouldn't go back on until I went back and deleted the static IP address.

    So...

    Who knows.

    Sounds like you didn't enter the full details for your static IP address correctly - the IP address, subnet, default gateway and DNS all need to be correct.

    I tried putting the same details in for all of the above but that didn't work either- no internet connection, what should I put in for- subnet, default gateway and DNS all need to be correct?

    What make and model router do you have? You may be able to do a specific IP address allocation at that level.

    Some info here: https://www.howtogeek.com/184310/ask...-on-my-router/

    Reading, but apologies- have to go to sleep soon, work in the AM.

    My router is a TP Link... and I would tell you more specifics but now when I go to try and look at the router by sticking the IP address in the address bar I used previously it says page doesn't exist.

    Oh my lord...

    I cannot fathom this stuff out.

    If its old, you can google the make and model of your router and find the default password, or if its newer check for a sticker on the bottom. it will have a default username and password on it.

    Also, you then need to know the address to log in. Again, google your make and model, but it's usually https://192.168.0.1
