>The 3 pieces of information given by running the ipconfig command differs from those that are displayed in the routers Status windo are different. i.e., it shows a LAN (IP Addres, Subnetmask and DHCP server) and a WAN (IP Address, Subnet mask, Default Gateway and DNS). The IP Address and Deafulat Gateway numbers are differnt.

With IPCONFIG you will see the IP address on your PC.

The router should have its own IP address. Or rather, one for each network it is connected to. In your case, probably one for your LAN, and one for the connection to the outside world.

To connect two computers, you need the computer's IP address, and not the router's. If the computer has a private IP address, then there are many things you can't do - at least, not in the usual way.

Perhaps the technologies which Jim Livermore mentions can help, but I can't assist you with those.
