If I don't mistake, router always allow you to use a static IP
address... if you select the IP address in the authorized range.
First you need to know a valid IP address not actually used (IP_ADDRESS)
and the net mask of the network (NETMASK), the network interface of your
PC (ETH0) and the IP of the router (IP_ROUTER).
I suppose that you are able to know the values of IP_ADDRESS, NETMASK,
ETH0, and IP_ROUTER
Normally this is the basic step to have a network working:
# ifconfig ETH0 IP_ADDRESS netmask NETMASK
# route add default gw IP_ROUTER
You can also see if the DNS have been setted:
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
if it is blank you must insert one-two valid entry, for the example the
following (opendns)
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
When you have correctly activated your network, then you can address all
other issue you have.
If this was not appropriate mailing list to send this mail, I apologise ...
I think it is better to ask to the user mailing list...
