Bob, those look like the correct numbers to me (i just set ours up last night and used very similar numbers). The only difference is that i left the default gateway blank.
How are your wires configured? It's best if you leave the router out of it completely - just go straight from the laptop to the gaming adapter with a regular ethernet cable (it probably doesn't matter since they make these things smart now, but i would NOT use the crossover (orange) cable).
With the above settings and setup, try opening the command prompt and putting in:
if the gaming adapter is on that IP address, then you should see something similar to the following:
