hmmm, run ipconfig/all form a command prompt and see what your Netgear is giving you for IP settings. It may give a clue as to why the static setup is not working.
Maybe try and go low on the static IP. Set the DHCP range to be 10-235, and make your server .5 or something less than .11. Home routers are not known for being extremely flexible, dont be surprised when you find out the weak link in the chain is your Netgear.
Or you could commit to the process all at once, turn off everything on your router but the firewall, promote your server, establish a domain, set your DHCP and DNS up on it, and start having everything on your network refer to it. This is where you're going to end up sooner or later.

Good idea, I'll try that out. I appreciate it

The problem is that my "server" is just an old hp laptop that sounds like a jet turbine when running. I don't want my network tied to that.
