WNDR4500 port forwarding with fixed IP address
I have 3 wired PCs and 1 wi-fi PC connected to my WNDR4500 router. One of my wired PCs has a local address of 10.0.0.7; I want to set up a home brew html server on that machine. I followed the instructions for port forwarding, but got stuck on page 99 of the manual, which says "In the Port Forwarding screen, configure the router to forward the HTTP service to the local address of your web server at 192.168.1.33. HTTP (port 80) is the standard protocol for web servers." I do not see any place on the Port Forwarding screen for entering a local address, unless I replace 10.0.0.7, which definitely does not work (the system replaces 192.168.1.33 with 10.0.0.7). There is no screen image in the manual for this step. I'd like, please, excrutiatingly detailed instructions for forwarding port 80 traffic to my 10.0.0. 7 PC, with or without a fixed IP address. I'm not even sure what the difference is between a fixed and a dynamic IP address is in this context. If I need to go to another screen, please indicate that.
