OT: I really HATE networking.

I just got hughesnet internet (so far I’m satisfied but not blown away by the service) and have had a devil of a time getting my wireless router to work. The problem is, for whatever reason, the router won’t pick up a dynamic IP from the modem so whenever the modem disconnects (which seems to happen once or twice a day), it changes IPs and I’m having to go in and manually input the new IP in the wireless router to get my network working again. It’s a pain in the butt.

I’ve been Googling for the past 45 minutes or so but haven’t found a solution yet.
