Static LAN IP Address
« on: April 28, 2006, 07:47:32 am »
Please, K.I.S.S. this thread.  :-*


I went to the command prompt and typed ipconfig /all to get my IP addy, but it is the one for my router.  I'm trying to change my IP to a static but I don't know how to get one.

I know where to put the static IP in the internect connections of the control panel, but HOW do I get a new number?

Why do you want this?

The one IPconfig shows is for the machine your on.

Your router has 2 an external one that the internet sees, and an internal one that your machines see.

The router typically hands out IP addresses to machines on the inside in order to keep track of where all the data has to flow.

What trouble are you having that you feel you want a static ip for a box?

I'd suggest contacting your ISP, as they are the ones handing out IPs, static or otherwise

Is this to help you set up the port forwarding?

If so, this is how it works:

Step 1.  Do the IPCONFIG thingy to get the IP address your router's giving you.  It'll probably be 192.168.XXX.XXX  Make note of the first 3 sets of numbers (the 192.168.XXX.___ part).
Step 2.  Make up a new number for the last part.  Most routers make the last number > 100, so something like 10 or 20 would work.  If the last number is <100, then make up a number like 200. 
Step 3.  Mix the 2 numbers together.  It should be 192.168.XXX.your number.  You just made yourself a new static IP address... :D
Step 4.  Odds are, you're also going to need to find your DNS servers.  IIRC, you can find the ones your ISP wants you to use in your router somewhere.  Find them, and write the first (only) 2 down.
Step 5.  Go to the Internet Connections part of the control panel.  On the screen where you add your IP address, give it your made up Static IP, then the 2 DNS servers you wrote down.
Step 6.  Go back into the router (if you did everything right so far, you should have no problem getting there), and set up the port forwarding...

Hello,

If you want a static IP and you are behind a router, then you simply must use IPConfig /all to see what your IP address is now.

Ex 192.168.1.2

Also look for the IP numbers for DNS Server, Default Gateway, and Subnet Mask.  Write all this information down.

Now, go into the Network connections in the Control Panel, and Double Click the connection in there that is the connection to the router.

Then you should click properties.

A new window appears. Inside the windows look for a box called, "This connection uses the following items:".

Look in that box for "Internet Protocal (TCP/IP)", and double click it.

A new window appears again.

Click "Use the following IP Address"

You will have to fill out the information in the respective boxes that you wrote down earlier.

If you need anything else, ask please.

:)

Yeah, I ipconfig /all and have all the numbers, put them in the internet connections box just like they were.  I had even changed the last set of numbers in the IP "to make up my own", but I was not sure if I was doing it correctly. You guys did confirm that for me.

Now, I can't get into my router.  I put the ip addy in the browser but it doesn't work.

Hey,

You can make the last set of the numbers what they were.

If you go to CMD (where you did ipconfig) and ping the IP of the router, what happens?

Also, please get us the results of the IPconfig /all

IP Address
Subnet Mask
Gateway
DNS Servers

thanks

And when you try to connect to the router you hit:

Edit:

I think she has a Linksys Router.

Otherwise she'd have some different settings from the Westell

Well....

I don't know the password into the router so I can't open any ports.

But I do appreciate the help.
