Hi there.
I've gotten a problem connecting dvd profiler on my computer with my mobile device.
The problem is that a couple of days ago dvd profiler on my computer changed it's ip adress to something like 95.34.**.**
After it did this my iphone won't connect with the new adress. 
Is there anyone out there who can help me with what to do?

First of all:
DVDProfiler does not change the IP adress of your computer. Your ISP (Internet Service Provider), or your DNS (Dynamic Name Server (which in a private network usually is the router)) does.

How does your mobile device connect to your computer?
a) Internet
b) Local Network
c) Don't Know

In case a): get a static adress for your computer. The easiest way would be dyndns.org

In case b): attach a static IP-adress to your computer, either in the TCP/IP settings of your computer (recommended only for non-portable devices), or in the setting of your router (check the manual of your router).

In both cases make sure that the new IP adresses are known to DVDProfiler on your mobile device.

In case c): Come up again, and we'll try to help determine your connection type.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I tried to get in on my router now on 192.168.0.1 as I'm told but I can't get in. Do you know why?
And why has this suddenly happened now when it hasn't been a problem before?

In combination with your current IP adress (95.34.*.*) I'd assume that your router is only working as a modem. Check the cables on the back of the router and make sure that your computer is connected to the plugs marked as "LAN" and the connection from router to splitter is made via the "DSL" plug.

I haven't changed anything on my router or modem, but still it changed IP adress to this. 
It has always worked before.

I have checked on the back on my router and everything seems fine.
But you're other suggestion as buying a static ip adress, I didn't try because I don't wanna use money on that. The others I haven't tried. But is it possible for my router to work as a modem as long as it's wireless?

A dyndns.org adress is for free. There are several (unneeded) options you can pay for, but the adress as such doesn't cost anything. It's just that if my assumption is correct it wouldn't help you in your specific case.

Sorry, chose the wrong word.
I meant "Switch" and yes it can work as "Switch" only even with a wireless connection.

Does your router have an integrated modem (now I mean it  ) or do you have a separate modem?
Could you tell me the manufacturer and model please?
