Hi !

I need a static Ip address in order to port forward utorrent. if not utorrent is very slow.

So as mentioned in the portforward website I can right click the LAN Icon
then propeties next IPv4 manual Ip settings,That method I know but the
problem is some times when I connect to LAN.Internet Connection faliers.

With out help of ISP how can I setup static Ip address.I ask them they said
they cant.......

thanks

static ip u can only get from ur internet provider. theres only 2 times or ip's dynamic (ip address changes from every reconnection) and static (stays the same). so if u static ip im sure ur going to have to change internet provider


hey xtreme did i do good? lol or did i get these mixed up?

You did good now let me expand on it.

As rodzilla has stated most ISPS dont give you a static unless you request and pay extra for one.

This is to prevent homes users hosting services from home instead of paying the ISP to host things.

BUT THERE IS HOPE

You can use services such as DYNADNS to bind a domain name to your ip.

How it works is you install software on your pc which keeps telling dynadns when your ip changes and then updates the Zone for that dns name.

So lets say my Dynadns name is Xtreame.dynadns.org
The software will every 90 seconds send my ip to dynadns and tell it to update Xtreame.dynadns.org to my current ip.

Now if I need to remote desktop to my pc at home then all I do is open the RDP to the domain name and let that resolve to an IP.

Its a work around, but it does work. Its not the kinda of thing I would use for website hosting or any serious services, but for Steam Game servers, and music broadcasts, remote desktop and those kind of things its perfect.

wait if you are behind a router you can get a local static ip...
thats what i have set up. and then i have my ruter forward that port to my local ip

that way it doesnt matter if your isp changes your ip address because your router will take care of that and it will know to locally give your pc (with the local static ip) the open port.

you failed to mention how you are connecting to the internet... are you behind a router some isps dont allow them???

Good point some routers have builtin support for Dyna DNS, but the problem always remains that when your away from your computer you need to know what the IP of the router is - thats where DynaDNS comes in.

But good point about the port forwarding on the router BF
