Hi all

Having some problems with my tp link

Me and my brother have decide to start to play LAN games because he has brought a new laptop that can play them they worked fine with his old laptop and that had vista on it and the only game we could play was AOE2 now that he has up graded to win 8 nothing works apart form splinter cell 3 it runs fine in any network configuration 

I have assined static ip address to his laptop and to my PC sharing options are all enabled so are his but his laptop wont join my home group 

current configs are this

MY PC

IP 192.168.1.110
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 192.168.1.1
DNS 192.168.1.1

LAPTOP
IP 192.168.1.120
Subnet255.255.255.0
Default gateway 192.168.1.1
DNS 192.168.1.1


NOTE IF I CHANGE THE D/G OF THE PC TO THE LAPTOP IP AND VICE VERSEA AOE2 WORKS BUT WE HAVE NO INTERNET ACCESS FOR EITHER DEVICE DON'T WANT TO DO THIS EVERY TIME WE PLAY

fire walls have exemptions for the programs we are using going both ways for all the games and sharing



Router

Firmware Version:1.3.6 Build 100830 Rel.58063nHardware Version:TD-W8960N v1 0x00000001
Does this need an update if so to what

DEFAULT IP ON ROUTER IS 192.168.1.1

Router has DHCP enabled for for other other devices IP start at 192.168.1.150 to 192.168.1.200 
And how can I get internet access for both PC and laptop whilst still assign static ip addresses and have a LAN that we can play games on


Thanks all to who ever can help
