using a DNS I've got for orange online -
(Primary DNS: 195.92.195.94
Secondary DNS: 195.92.195.95)

Where you get these? They don't even belong to Orange; they belong to Energis UK, altho' they could well be DNSs.

Maybe so in RIPE, but a quick google says they are Orange servers, e.g.http://www.kitz.co.uk/isp/dns.htm

Those are probably from years ago and do not include the 193.36.79.10x ones which Orange has been auto supplying ever since I can remember. So that list is suspect.

I do remember that once Orange had separate DNS for LLU & non-LLU but probably they stop distinguishing when they went all BTw.

Anyway, nowadays Orange own help says:

In reference to help.orange.co.uk/orangeuk/support/personal/238695:

DNS

Domain name service is dynamic.

If Orange domain name server (DNS) addresses are required, use:

193.36.79.101 and 193.36.79.100

GIYE!

Easier to set fixed local IP at router, cuz you gonna have to do some work there to ensure no clash with DHCP range.

Now that�s just what you do when a Static IP Address is set-up on the home computer and router.

As you have stated, it's nothing to do with Orange the op needs to study the portforwarding procedure and configure the PC and router as instructed.

Unless you've got a BrightBox, in which case it can only be 1492.

Hi Johny, I have now connected up my Netgear DGN1000 router so I can give you more help!

For your home network you need to configure your Netgear DGN1000 router LAN setup to create the static IP address range. First within the router go to [Advanced] [LAN Setup] and configure your static IP Address range.

LAN TCP/IP Setup
IP Address 192.168.0.1 (Router Default IP Address)
IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
RIP Direction Non
RIP Version RIP1

Use Router as DHCP Server. Yes.

Starting IP Address 192.168.0.21
Ending IP Address 192.168.0.250

You now have 25 static IP Addresses for use on your LAN (Local Area Network).

192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.20 (20) and 192.168.0.251 to 192.168.0.255 (5) = 25 Static IP Addresses for your use.

So I followed the above information and also purchased a new ethernet cable (thanks to you identifying that there was huge lag in the wireless connection) and it appears to be working now!

I can't thank everyone enough for their help with it, really appreciate it guys!
