Thread: How to Assign Static IP to System

Hi, All
I have BSNL Broadband with Static IP conected directly with my PC (one System only). ISP has given me my static ip and i want that ip to my PC, because i want connect remotly from the other location (i needed) and also my internet automatically connect when the modem/router is turned power on. I Have a little bit idea for the same that some DMZ Property of modem/router and port forwarding, but i not able to cofigure. let me clear my requirments
1) Automatically Connect
2) Static IP (Public IP) to my PC

Please change Font to normal type.
Mention model/make/type/number of your modem.
How far away from main Computer you need to remotely control Base computer ?

In Computer
Start Network LAN
Properties
Network settings page
Select TCP/IP
properties.
Enter
IP say 59.23.34.45 ( Your static IP)
subnet 255.255.255.0
default 192.168.1.1 ( modem address )
Apply Save.
Check and confirm

PaRA TWO:
Select your modem ( if supplied by Bsnl)

you would need to mention your modem model no , so that you can get a tutorial to configure your modem in pppoe mode..if you are using an application like vnc server to remote control your pc you need to open the right ports . i think its 5900 for VNC

Thanks for the reply...

But i have solved this problem

Nobody should ever connect a PC direct to the internet with a public IP address.

It's not like leaving your front door unlocked: it's like taking it off its hinges and throwing it away.

Nobody should ever connect a PC direct to the internet with a public IP address.

Not clear: explain. Public IP address.

Every time I connect , I get a "Dynamic IP address" which changes.
To which gate wayIP in BSNL Exchange it is connected is also different.
some users are allotted STATIC IP.
I allot 192.168.1.3 to my computer manually or automatically via DHCP.

Yes, but your IP address is allocated to your router, not to your PC, yes? Your PC being configured with a "private address space" IP.

Please give definition of "public IP Address"
this reply is more confusing !!!!

Yes, but your IP address (*Private/public/static/dynamic ?) is allocated to your router,
not to your PC, yes? Your PC being configured with a "private address space" IP.

Understood Computer/s allotted"PrivateIP address in LAN mode.

Public: opposite of private. Why private? because all internet routers should refuse to route such packets anywhere: what's on your net stays on your net. NAT is (just) one of your lines of defence that only allows in that which you invited in.

Your PC is 192.168.1.3. No machine outside the internet can find your 192.168.1.3.

(this is in principle: I'm not a security expert, and I wouldn't set myself up to argue with one)

good definition: Public opposite of private !
Thanks..

Oh heck, sorry...

There was supposed to be a link in that post: this one from wise-geek. Probably put it better than I can.

Didn't only miss the link; missed out the whole sentence.

REP+++ for a useful link. Sorry. remind later.
.What is the Difference Between Public and Private IP Addresses?
So all of us are using PUBLIC IP address ( Dynamic or StaticIP address allotted by ISP) to connect to Internet.

Your router must have a public address, yes, or no other host in the world would be able to send back to you, eg, the web pages you ask for. NAT looks after the rest

Try DynDNS.....

That's if you don't have a static IP and still want to be able to access your net remotely. It is a solution to a different problem.

I fail to understand why some one would take the risk of leaving a system open to the www even if you've got strong password for your box and one of them all singing and dancing internet security suits ...your system is still at the mercy of the dark forces!

Why not leave this job to the professionals and get a shared hosting plan somewhere? $10 something a month with a dedicated IP and security is taken care of by your hosting company. Besides that you also get a lot better speed to your server as compared to your lousy Bsnl connection which I can gurantee will have less then 90% up time as opposed to 99.999% uptime offered by all good hosting companies.

Try Hostgator for shared or get a dedicated box from theplanet or wiredtree or something if its making money for you and you want some extremely good specs that a home PC or a shared environment cannot provide.

Back in work days, my fixed-IP mail server sat behind a router/firewall that did NAT and had complex rules as to what was allowed in from where. We also had VPN connections into our servers from remote offices. The box and software was about Rs.8 Lakh if I remember correctly --- although it was just before DSL took off in UK, and even routers for that were much more expensive than they are now.
