What I mean by that is if you at least make an effort to find out, you'll realize it isn't very hard at all. At least show that you're trying, and post any error messages or other problems here.

Just ignore him, he doens't like helping people. First go to a web browser and type in 192.168.1.1 the default user name is admin and the password is password. There should be an option about DHCP somewhere, make sure it's on.
To assign a static ip address just right click on your wireless connection. Click on TCP/IP and click properties. Then click use the following ip address and type in something like 192.168.1.x. x being whatever.

You may have typed in the wrong IP address. Run "ipconfig" to find out the router's IP address. Make sure you're doing it from a hard-wired connection (not wireless), and make sure that there's a light on the router indicating that you're connected. The password is usually blank or something simple, such as "admin" or "password". Again, check the manual for more details.

Re: Netgear limited or no connectivity and things just keep getting worse
To further clarify, after running ipconfig, look for the line that says "Default Gateway". It should have an IP address, and so type that into your web browser.
