Static IP

Some questions about static ip

1- which internet provider can provide you with Static IP? and how much does it cost ?
does ogero blink provide static ip ?

2- so basically if i have a static ip i actually have a Web Server? all i need is to get a Domain name and link it to IP address ? , am not talking about the Appache Server and stuff like that...

xterm

Yes to everything.

Cost i believe is about 10$/mo

get xampp, get a dynamic dns, link main domain to dynamic dns, end of story.

rtp

yeah already tried that , didnt work ISP FastNet

i think am behind some sort of Web Proxy Server or whatever...

am trying to get a Game Server Starting but for some reason it isnt working and i bet it's because of that proxy... i tried no-ip , isnt working... so i thought maybe switch for like a static ip should do the job

maybe

game server on your pc, wouldnt be a good idea. Rent a server, a vps or shared(cheaper) for 20-40$.

rtp

why wouldnt it be a good idea?

Isp_fap

slow connection

rtp

hmm technically since he is trying to reach me , it is his connection that matters the most, i think

Isp_fap

his download and your upload, which a lot less than your download. :)

I am with IDM and i have 546v6 speedtouch there is an option to acquire DDNS what are the benefits of that.

Isp_fap

you can set up a ddns on your router. You can set up a server on your computer, or just make people know your current ip by giving them your domain.(which you have already set up at the ddns company(noip, dyndns,etc)

yeah the sites are already on the firmware....so there are no gaming benefits because i am not gonna host games.

1-give the computer u want to use a static ip
2-login to ur dsl router> Nat> dmz host > put the static ip>save/apply
3-register at dyndns.com and create a new name
4-If your dsl router has support for their service u can configure it from there, it should be easy and u can always run their update ur computer

That solves the static ip problem, but not gona solve the speed problem

you can rent a server and that will cost u around 20$~40$, unless u can get a good deal and even then it WONT SOLVE YOUR CONNECTION PROBLEM

people tend to forget that all there connection plans are on shared accounts, u need to get a dedicated connection and thats gona cost a bundle, might as well pay for the trip to syria and play there, lol

dmz isn't for opening all ports to a certain ip?

darko

it opens most ports for me, here's a description
Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) allows one IP Address (computer) to be exposed to the Internet. Some applications require multiple TCP/IP ports to be open. It is recommended that you set your computer with a static IP if you want to use DMZ. Linksys describes it as "...The DMZ Host setting allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet to use a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or Video-conferencing

hmm, i dont get this DMZ, so i went to my router and enabled my pc to be a DMZ, wasnt that suppose to change my external ip?
well it is the same, the ip of the stupid web proxy am behind :S

darko

web proxy???? lol wut!!!!
wait, u're not behind a proxy, you're behind NAT, and thats a could thing, let me explain how this works

When u start ur dsl router, it has 2 IPs one private one by default its 192.168.1.1 and the one the ISP will assign to you ,a real IP, thats the one that the whole world see, ONE REAL IP, but the problem is that u have many diffrent interfaces that u want to use to connect to the net through that router, ur pc, laptop, iphone, wifi enable phone.........so how do we solve this problem when u get only ONE IP. We create a private network and all the interfaces in that network will access the internet through that router, this is done by setting their gateway to that router private ip. Now u problem is that the world(internet) only sees the real ip of the router, and u want the people to see whats behind that(sometimes this a security risk). No it doesnt have to change ur external ip, but now any traffic send to that real ip will be directed to the ip u set in DMZ, just to see if this works, try enabling remote desktop on ur pc and asking for one of ur friend to RDC to ur ip, if it works then u're set, or u can use this site to check if people can see the ports u want them too http://www.canyouseeme.org/

i made a little paint graph that might make sense to u

1-ISPs who usually have a "block" of static IPs assigned to them, can in turn assign one to you. Note that normally ISPs assign dynamic IPs, that is every time you connect you get a different one, according to availability. You usually have to pay extra for a static IP.

2-No, if you have a static IP, you have a static IP. To have a proper web server you need:
- Static and public IP
- DNS record so that people can access your web server by tying a domain name, instead of the IP
- Proper upload speed (if you're in lebanon, good luck)
- Web server software (Apache, IIS, nginx, ...)

If you want to set up a basic web server for experimentation, you do not necessarily need a static IP. But you must have a public IP, that is one that can be accessed from the internet. This means no IPs in the form 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x , these are private IPs. Even if you have a dynamic public IP, you can send the IP to the person who wants to visit your site, and they will be able to see it, given that the ISP did not block web connections to your computer. You can also use a Dynamic DNS service so that people can find you using a domain name, even if you have a dynamic IP. But public IP is the minimum.

If you want to host a regular website, I recommend you get hosting in the states (dreamhost or something like that) it is less then $10 a month and gives you a quality you can never have on your computer if you are in lebanon.
