Set FrostWire on each computer to use different port numbers manually in
Tools/Options/Advanced/Firewall Config Use the same number in both slots on that page for
each one, but make sure your laptop is using a different port number than your desktop.
Ok what port numbers should i use? im not familar with port numbers in general and what they do.

In the Windows network setup for each computer, go into the properties for the TCP/IP
protocol and change it from automatic setup to manual and lock down the internal IP address
for each computer so they are always the same. Detailed instructions on that are here:
How To setup a Static IP Address
I will try this when i get home. Can i just do this on my laptop instead? would changing an ip address to static interfere with any other configurations or programs on my computer?
