Try this site http://ozcableguy.com/routerfaq.html#2.11
- the whole site is excellent reading to understand routers and
networking. Read the port forwarding thoroughly - you'll need to use
this to get Kazaa running as well.

To assign an IP all you need to do is change the connection properties
on the PC running the web server from "obtain IP automatically" to
manually specifying the IP you want.

(in XP or Win2k - right click the connection icon, Status, Properties
(button), Internet Protocol (highlight this), Properties (button))

Make sure the IP you choose matches the IP and subnet of your router's
internal IP - eg.

router  192.168.0.1
PC running server  192.168.0.2 subnet 255.255.255.0

OR (say)

router 10.0.0.1
PC 10.0.0.2 subnet 255.255.255.0

(ie it depends on your router)
