| How do i get my IP adress to be static? |
| (1/1) |
| Jellypuddle:
I have a dynamic IP adress and, its really annoying when i try and host a server and i realise that my IP must have changed again, so i have to go to my default gate way, change the number and then host.. it would be much more helpful if i had a static IP, could someone help? |

By changing to a router or service provider, that uses Static IP's, worked for me. Example of Static ip ISP: BT |
| Doomonkey:
Go to start > run > cmd. Type ipconfig. Find your IP adress. Type Ping IPAdress Type ARP -a You should get a MAC adress and an IP Adress Type ARP -s IPAdress MACAdress If you follow those instructions it will work. |

Usually routers will allow you to configure a static IP for your computer (not your internet connection). It might be under the name "LAN IP Reservation" or something along those lines. Login to your router and have a look around and see what you can find. |
