Router Forwarding

I've been trying to configure my router correctly to use shareaza, but the solution offered by portforward.com was different from what actually showed up. I was still able to figure most of it out, and I only need one more piece (I think) to fix the problem. It's asking for the LAN IP address. Does anyone know what it is or how to find it?

I have the 2-Wire 2700HG-D router, if that helps.

I suppose you have omitted "set static IP" link at portforward.com for you hardware. I'd suggest to go through again and find out details about "static IP" and I think you will find what is needed there.

Navigate to the properties of your LAN connection. There you can set the properties of the TCP/IP protocol (down in the list on the first tab of the properties dialog). There you can set a static IP for your PC.
In order to get the appropriate settings to use, open first a command line window (Run>>cmd.exe) and type in "ipconfig /all" (without the quotes ("") ).

Thanks, that worked. sort of. TCP now works, but UDP isn't getting a connection anymore. I tried setting up a separate forward for UDP, but it didn't work. I'll keep looking and post here if I find anything.
