First: I'm pretty sure this belongs in this catorgory
Secondly: I used this site to set my 'static' IP http://www.portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm
Now then. A static IP is different from a dynamic IP in the way that when I turn my PC on (if i had a static) my ip would always be 132.204.121.233 (made up IP by the way) but if it was a Dynamic IP i would get a different IP everytime, yes?
anyway I followed that sites advice to making a static IP address. It didnt work though. And heres one the reasons why (I think): When it tells you to get your 'DNS' numbers, i had only one number there when i should've had 2 yeah?
Is there any reason why when i did 'ipconfig/all' in the command menu that i only got one DNS number? and how could i find both out without ringing my ISP?
Oh yeah- also in the command menu it said my IP was 192.168.x.x but when i used www.whatismyip.com i got 86.136.xx.xx. Is there a reason why these two IP's are different?
and if you were wondering I want a static IP so i can do port forwarding so I can beat my friend at Zero Hour :1angel:
Thanks... anyone can solve this i would
