Ultima Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Did you set a static IP up when you forwarded your ports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogglock Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 how do you get a static ip? i've checked the guides but they weren't very clear to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 http://www.portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htmRead that guide already?- Open the Run applet in the Start menu.- Type in cmd and press OK.- From the command prompt, type in ipconfig /all and press Enter. You should be given a long list of information.- Type ncpa.cpl at the command prompt and press Enter.- In the window that pops up, find your network card, right-click it, and select Properties.- In the dialog that pops up, select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and press Properties.- In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog, if Use the following IP address is already selected, then your computer already has a static IP address set up. If otherwise, select Use the following IP address.- Go back to the command prompt and scroll up to the information provided by ipconfig. Copy the corresponding information for your network adapter into the newly-editable IP Address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway fields in the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog.- For the Preferred DNS server field, fill in the first DNS server you find from the output by ipconfig. If you have a second DNS server listed in the ipconfig output, type that into the Alternate DNS server field. If otherwise, don't worry about it and leave that field blank.- Click OK for all open dialogs, and when you are asked to restart your comptuer, do so.
