What is an IP address?
An IP address is like a telephone number that any computer can use to find any other computer in a network. All networked computers have IP addresses. Most have a static ip, that is, they don't change (for instance, at the time of writing, Google is 7 4 . 1 2 5 . 4 5 . 1 0 0 , and typing h t t p : / / 7 4 . 1 2 5 . 4 5 . 1 0 0 / into your browser will take you straight to Google. That is Google's "public IP", aka. "external IP" (one of them), behind their NAT are probably thousands of separate machines, each with different "private" IP's (probably static, or more likely a mix of dynamic and static IP's), 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 . 1 ,1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 . 2 , etc., we don't see those. But some IP's do change.. Home computers, by default, are set to get their private IP address dynamically from your gateway device (router), via dhcp, In other words, the router supplies a private IP address for your computer to use, temporarily (your router is probably doing NAT, too, and needs your computer to have an IP address, so it knows where to send your data packets). However, dhcp is not an ideal setup; if there is any interruption in the computer's network connexion to the router (you reboot your PC, for instance), a completely new IP address may be assigned1. For general (beginner's) use, dhcp is just fine, because it's easier; generally works "out of the box", requiring no configuration at all. But if you want to do more; run servers, p2p applications, interesting communication devices, etc, you'll be creating port forwarding/NAT rules on your router, to direct incoming traffic to a particular computer (the one running the server), and if you want those rules to be effective past your next reboot, you will need to get a static IP on your computer, so that the incoming data packets can still find you. Imagine the fun your friends and family would have contacting you if your telephone number changed every day!
okay, let's do it!

Okay, so you understand why you need to get a static IP, (apart from the obvious "cuz I want to forward my ports!") it's time to move on to the how part. * *and must be on the same "subnet" that the router is on, in other words, 1 "Private" IP addresses usually begin with 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 . s o m e t h i n g , and NOT 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 4 . s o m e t h i n g . Only the last number will be different from the address of your router which by default (at least for Voyager routers), lives at 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 . 1 . 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 0 . 1is also common. ** There are other private ranges, too, but most people don't need to know about those, 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 . s o m e t h i n gis what most folk use, and though thousands of millions of machines in the world have 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 . s o m e t h i n gas their private IP address, they don't interfere with each other because they are behind NATs and other gateways; from the outside, we only see the public IP address, aka. "external IP". HOWEVER, if your router uses 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 0 . s o m e t h i n g , or 1 0 . 0 . 0 . s o m e t h i n g , or something else from the private IP ranges.. 1 0 . 0 . 0 . 0-1 0 . 2 5 5 . 2 5 5 . 2 5 5 1 7 2 . 1 6 . 0 . 0-1 7 2 . 3 1 . 2 5 5 . 2 5 5 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 0 . 0-1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 2 5 5 . 2 5 5 ..then don't hesitate to use THAT instead of the 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 . s o m e t h i n gaddresses I use in my examples, that's what most routers use, but not all. Do check. The best way to know what subnet your router uses, and thereby which IP to use, is to look and see what IP it has currently assigned to your computer. In Windows, it's in the Support tab of the connexion's Status dialog. A n e t s t a tcommand will get you the same information (and more) on most platforms, perhaps n e t s t a tn . Your router's web interface will likely have all this information, too.

If your router has USB, it has probably already grabbed 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 . 2for the USB connexion, so that leaves you with any number between 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 . 3and 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 . 2 5 4to use for your private computers to use as static IP's, one unique number per machine. Remember to disable dhcp in your router before you start assigning static IP's.
Alternatively, create a new dhcp range somewhere away from your regular static IP's, handy for guests and what-not, perhaps 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 . 5 0- 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 . 9 9 Fortunately, assigning a static IP is very easy to achieve, and the same principle applies to every computing platform, the only real difference being where to apply the settings. I'll start with the trickiest..
Windows..
The dialog you are looking for is here.. C o n t r o lP a n e l> >N e t w o r kC o n n e c t i o n s> >L o c a lA r e aC o n n e c t i o n> >P r o p e r t i e s> >T C P / I P> >P r o p e r t i e s *phew* In other words, open the control panel, open Network Connections, right-click the "Local Area Connection" (unless you've renamed it to something else) and chose "Properties", then (in the "general" tab) select "Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)" and click the "Properties" button. Check the "Use the Following IP address" checkbox and enter your desired IP address. If you use 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 . 3as your IP address, the dialog will look something like this..
..which is a clever screencap, showing you just how to get there. When you're done, okay everything to close all the dialogs. It's smart to use 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 . 3as your address, especially if you plan to use any of the ready-made script kicking around here. I you are plugging your computers into a network switch (Good Idea!), it's also smart to plug each machine into its corresponding CAT-5 socket, router (1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 . 1 ) into the first, 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 1 . 3into the third, and so on, so you can see which is which at-a-glance.
Mac OS X..
What you need is in the "Network" dialog of the System Preferences, and will look something like this..

Simply click the drop-down menu for "Show", and choose "Built-in Ethernet" to get that screen, enter all the details as above. Click "Apply Now", and you're done! Did you notice that on the Mac, you enter the Router's address into a space labelled as "Router", whereas, on Windows, you enter it into a space labelled "Default Gateway"? But then, the space for DNS servers is clearer in the Windows box. Seems we all still have a lot to learn from each other.
Linux..
This probably isn't necessary, most Linux users know how to alter this stuff, but I suspect one or two may not. Usually you need to edit some plain text file (as root). On some Linux systems, the settings will be in / e t c / r c . d / r c . i n e t 1(or whatever interface you are using), or possibly / e t c / n e t w o r k / i n t e r f a c e s . I guess it might look something like this..
Usually, your distro will have a utility for setting up your network, and one of the first things it will ask you, after you tell it you want "manual" and not "automatic" configuration, is what IP address to assign to the machine. It's usually called something like "Network Configuration", or "inet configurator" or whatever. you'll find it! In a shell you can probably do "netconfig", "netcfg", "Ifconfig", "neat", or "netset" (depending on your distro). Same story for UNIX, Solaris, BSD, etc..
The Router..
Many routers allow you to create something called a "static lease". Essentially, this ties a MAC address (the physical address of your network card, theoretically unique to your card) to a particular IP address. This has many advantages. Firstly, you don't have to mess with ANY of your computer's network settings, ever. Because the router is always going to dole out the exact same address to that computer, the usual DHCP settings will work fine. Your computer asks for any address, and always gets given the exact same one. It's not possible to give many specifics, because each router is different, but I can tell you that if you use IPCop as your gateway (A Very Good Idea), it's as simple as clicking one of connexions in the "Current dynamic leases" list, and pressing "Create fixed lease", in the DHCP server page. Two clicks, and you're set for life! You even can reinstall your computer's operating system, reboot, and there's your static IP again!

That's it!
From now on, your machine will always be reachable at your chosen address. NAT rules will be permanent, and you can dabble in all sorts of interesting and esoteric communications devices, servers and p2p applications. If you have a few computers on your private network (LAN), you might want to consider giving them all names to go with their permanent addresses, so you can reach them by typing "workshop" or something into a telnet session/web browser/whatever. You could telnet to your router by simply doing t e l n e tr o u t e r , for instance. If you develop web sites, this is near essential. See here for more details. If you like, you can leave feedback (I thought it was about time this page had comments of its own - folk are coming straight here from the search engines, and it's getting popular!). If this page didn't help you, tell me about it! Have fun! ;o) (or
notes..
If you were actually wondering how to get a static IP for your whole internet connexion; aka. external IP, aka. "WAN IP"; perhaps to run some live web site or interesting server from your home or office, well, that's not something we mere mortals can do from our side of the router. You will need to talk to your ISP. Note: Not all ISP's offer this service, and those that do will usually charge a premium. However.. Most people do not need this! Even those that think they do, or have been told they do. Instead, perhaps you simply need to.. Get yourself a no-ip.com address, and a DUC! Note: DynDNS no longer offer a free service to new customers, so unless you want to pay for your DNS redirection, I recommend no-ip.com, freedns.afraid.org, or zoneedit.com, instead. Note, too: you can always get your current external IP address, a-la "what's my IP", except in plain text, right here. Very handy for automatic shell scripts, and more. Right now, it's 4 1 . 2 0 6 . 2 2 . 1 0 .
references: 1. This is very similar to the way you get a new external IP whenever you dial-up to the internet (some folks still do that) or disconnect your ADSL for a few minutes2 (less scrupulous net citizens use this "feature" regularly!). 2. Although it's usual to get a new external IP when you reconnect your DSL, it's not guaranteed. With some ISP's it happens rarely, with others you need to disconnect for a few minutes or more, with some ISP's, you always get a fresh IP with each connect, no matter how quickly you do it. One thing is certain, though; unless you are paying them for a static IP, your current external IP address will change! 3. Remember, your external IP, and your local computer's IP, are two totally separate things (well, in this context). Almost no one needs a static IP for their external connexion, but almost everyone who wants to run peer-to-peer applications, ftp servers, and so on, will need a static IP for their local computer. The former is supplied by your ISP, the latter is down to you.

FAQ..
What is an IP Mask? And how do they work?
The IP Mask simply describes which parts of an IP address are not going to change.
4/10
10/7/13
IP addresses are currently 32 bit, expressed as four sets of 8-bit numbers (0-255), or "octets". Simply, 255 means none of the bits can change, 0 means all of the bits can change (it can also be any number in between). What sometimes confuses, is that IP Masks can be expressed in two different ways.. IP: 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 0 . < s o m ev a l i dn u m b e rh e r e > , Mask: 2 5 5 . 2 5 5 . 2 5 5 . 0 and.. 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 0 / 2 4 Are exactly the same. While the first is, if you understand what I've said so far, fairly obvious; the second needs a little explanation. If you remember that IP addresses are 32 bits, 4 sets of 8-bit numbers, you might realize that the second number simply states how many of those bits will be masked; in this case, 24 of the 32 are masked (cannot change), which is the first three sets, i.e. 255.255.255.0. Any address using this mask, will be 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 0 . s o m e t h i n g See?
What's the difference between a public and private IP Address?

We did this! Okay, in short, your GATEWAY has your Public IP address, and your desktop computer (and any other machines inside your home/organization) have private IP Addresses. Simply put; it's outside and inside. Anyone "out there" can see your public IP, but only machines inside your own network know each other's individual private IP addresses. .. So, let's say a packet of data from "out there", is trying to reach your machine; it could be a legitimate connexion from a client, maybe an FTP client, or some game player, or script-kiddie, or you trying to access your bedroom's WebCam, or whatever. It leaves their machine, and starts its journey, hop-to-hop, attempting to get to yours. "Out There", is the internet. When you first connected to the internet, via your ISP's backbone, they assigned your connexion an IP address (or more than one, in some cases) from a large pool of IP Addresses they own. Any machine sending you a packet of data can reach you at this IP. Some folk pay for a static IP, most folk get a dynamic IP; that is, whatever's currently available from the ISP's IP pool, but either way, whatever IP your ISP gives your connexion becomes your Public IP Address. Every time you access a web page, or FTP site, or game server, or announce yourself to a torrent tracker, or anything; that is the IP Address they see at the other end of the connexion, and that is the address they will send the packets back to. This is your Public IP Address. Up until that packet reaches your gateway machine, it is in the public domain. Anything could happen to it. Once that packet hits your gateway machine, it enters the private domain and what happens next, is up to you.. If your gateway machine is a router, or better yet, a dedicated gateway appliance like IPCop, or Smoothwall is, then you have an array of possibilities. The packet may be on a port you don't know, or don't allow, and may be immediately dropped by your gateway's firewall. Or it may be on a port your gateway machine recognizes, like the return data from a web page you requested, or your torrent port, or whatever, and the gateway device will have been programmed to forward that packet on to a Private IP Address, another machine inside your network, your desktop, or wherever. The gateway's firewall usually does most of this automatically, sorting out which machines asked for what data, but can also be programmed to forward specific traffic to specific machines, for example, when we create port-forwarding rules for P2P clients on our desktop computers. Your Private IP Address is known only to machines inside your own network. If you have lots of machines inside your network, they will each have different private addresses, and with a secure gateway, none of these addresses can ever be seen from the outside (unless you hand it out, for example, in your email headers). This is why if you broadcast your Private IP to a distant server, e.g. 192.168.1.3; the requested data would never return, having been sent to a machine most likely sitting in the exact same building as the distant server, if such a machine even exists.
I want to host a REAL domain! A REAL site! I NEED an external Static IP!.. Don't I?
No, so long as your hardware (computer/network/connexion/bandwidth allowance) can handle whatever kind of site you plan to host, it's easy enough to point a proper TLD* at a dynamic IP address. While not recommended for mission-critical applications (there will always be a brief spell after you are assigned a new IP, where the name still points to the old IP - these days increasingly briefer, as DNS systems improve), hosting a "real" domain from a dynamic IP is most definitely doable. Once you have purchased (registered) your domain name, you simply need a way to keep it in sync with your ever-shifting dynamic public IP address. Check out zoneedit.com, a free service which does exactly that. Just like dnydns.org et al, you run your DUC and it keeps your domain name pointing at your IP address. And if you head along to namecheap.com, you can even register your domain, and setup dynamic DNS all at the same time. This is a fine place to add that I consider namecheap to be the best domain registrar in the world. * okay, technically only the "com/org/net/etc." part is the actual TLD, but the acronym has dropped itself into common parlance meaning "a proper (not-sub) domain", like "corz.org" or "ampsig.com" is. Okay, I might have pushed a little. ;o)
<Insert any question here>

When troubleshooting network issues, I usually get my solutions following one simple rule.. "Think like a packet of data". As breathtakingly simple as this sounds, imagining yourself as a packet of data, traveling from A to B is the fastest way to figure out where the trouble lies. That's all there is to it! Try it; you will not be disappointed with the results.

Troubleshooting..
A number of things can go wrong when trying to configure a static IP on your local machine. The most common issues are.. A second network adapter on your computer already has that IP address assigned to it.
Note: Firewire (aka. 'IEEE 1394') adapters usually get automatically setup as network adapters in Windows. Unless required, it is generally best to disable these interfaces.
Another computer on your local network already has the IP you are attempting to assign.
Another Very Good Reason to configure all your static IPs at your router, and leave the individual puters' default DHCP settings as-is.
You do not have sufficient security privileges to make such a change (i.e. you are not the Administrator/admin user) Check these things, and if you're still having difficulty setting up a static IP on your local computer, feel free to leave a question below. It might be something other's could use an answer to.

Mary - 22.01.13 1:24 pm I don't know why your screen showed on this computer this morning but I really like the way you explain this in simple terms. I've been dabbling in this for a few years. I am a 59 year old female and not computer savy. At one time, however, back in the windows xp days I was able to download a terminal server hack and get my server computer info from my laptop anywhere I was. I was pretty proud of that. Now I have vista home (64) bit and I have not been able to do that. In addition I "upgraded" my router at comcast's request to a "fancy" one with 10.0.1 addresses. I have to configure the router through the comcast website or whatever. Anyhow, I have only one computer with a static ip but I still cannot remote connect from my laptop so I have given up. It would be great fun if I had more time to work on this. But, alas, I must make a living instead! I know that feeling! Configure the router from their web site?!? That sounds dubious! Are you sure you can't just login at 10.0.0.1, or wherever it's at? (Angry IP Scanner is your friend!). And if you really do need to configure your router from their web site, screw that, mail them and demand they immediately forward port 3389 to your desktop machine! ;o) Cor ps. are you SURE your router can't be got to at http://10.0.0.1 ???
Oz - 29.01.13 5:43 am In simple steps, could you explain me and probably the two other netflix users out there, how to appear from a french canadian ISP so we can get films, subtitles and closed caption in French out of the Netflix server? Thanks indeed Simply, use a Proxy Server. Google/Wiki that. Then install a Firefox plug-in (aka. "Add-On") like Proxy Tool, and away you go. Of course you will want to select a proxy that resides in the same country that you want to appear to be from. The more obscure the better, less likely to be recognised as a proxy. ;o) Cor
Vincent - 09.02.13 3:30 pm Hi thanks for a very very useful site. Except for one thing. I live in a country which does NOT have wire connections in many areas (ie Cable ADSL etc) so we use a wireless USB modem which connects first to the ISP provider and of course its all dynamic IP's. Is it possible to set up a static IP WITHOUT the ISP admin doing it through the USB WIRELESS MODEM ie HUAWEI. Apparently www.mystaticipaddress.com seem to claim that it is possible but I have not seen this anywhere else. Apparently they use an encrypted program that the USB device cannot "see" Thanks for your help. I have no idea about your setup, but if you are assigned your IP directly from your ISP, the answer is probably no, you need to pay for these things. Unless you need an actual dotted octal IP address, just use no-ip.com or similar and get a static domain name, instead. ;o) Cor
Apathea - 19.02.13 5:50 am someone has been threatening me that he have detected my Ip address and location when i tried to log in a social networking account. and he also said that it was also detected when i purchased something in an online shop using my credit card. Is it possible that my IP address be detected even when I am using a mobile broadband stick when connecting in the internet?how can i hide my IP? Just like it was "detected" when you posted here (currently 64.104.*.*), even visited the page. This is perfectly normal and nothing to be alarmed about, unless you have some reason to hide your identity. You may well have such a reason. If so, there are levels of hiding, starting with using a proxy for your web traffic, all the way up to Tor, multiple/VPN tunnels and such. I wouldn't imagine that another user on a social networking site would have access to your IP data, but then, those things are riddled with security vulnerabilities so I wouldn't discount it, either. I don't know if you can do Facebook from inside Tor, I imagine Tor exit nodes get blacklisted quickly.

There's no pressing need to hide you IP online unless you are doing something illegal, or doing something within the realm of an illegal government, which is, sadly, most of them. And remember, even with your actual IP address, they don't know your precise physical location, they would need to ask your ISP (via a court order) to supply that data. They could probably get the country correct, but after that, without seriously advanced tools it's mostly uncertainty. ;o) Cor
gifty - 27.02.13 2:30 pm HI there i am here for someone to give me ip Antonio - 23.03.13 9:44 pm Very comprehensive. Thanks a lot. I will remember your site. Bendy - 24.03.13 11:13 pm This is an extremely informative page. I fear this may be a silly question but here goes: is it possible to map multiple internal nodes in your network (assuming you only have 1 IP-address to the outside world) to domain-names using a service like no-ip.com? Please indicate in your response if you'd prefer me to purchase a consult (rather than simply delete ), I'm aware that you provide consultation on technical problems such as this one. Thanks in advance! Yes and No. Yes, you can get the effect you want, but probably not in the way you imagine.. You need to do two things. 1. "map" all domain names to your external IP address (with your router/DUC/etc.) and then 2. forward whatever ports a particular domain name will need to that particular machine. If more than one domain needs the same port (e.g. port 80, for web traffic), you should host those domains on the same physical box. Then it is trivial to use Apache's virtual host capabilities to route each domain's traffic to the correct content. If that isn't possible, setup Apache on one machine and use it's Proxying capabilities to route web traffic to the other machines. Donations welcome! ;o) Cor

I have been experiencing a problem of not being able to share my internet to my other laptops. I have connected my LAN and it works perfectly. I am using windows vista, When i tried your static IP address, after a few seconds there was no internet access. I went back and choose "choose ip address automatically"then the network access came back. Recently i upgraded to windows 8 then installed connectify hotspot. It never worked yet on my previous version of Vista it worked perfectly. I formated back the comp to original factory settings then I have tried connectify.me hotspot but still it cannot share internet. I have tried to manually create an adhoc but it tells me waiting for other users to connect. Once i

try use the other laptop to connect. It connects but without internet. Help me please. Concerned user. Arnold Ndanyi, from Nairobi, Kenya A simple network switch saves a lot of headaches. If you want to setup a hotspot, the best way is with a dedicated wifi router, even the sort of thing you get free from your ISP would do the job (my "public" WiFi network runs off an old D-Link router I got for nothing). If you can get hold of a router that can take OpenWRT/DD-WRT (free router firmware), even better. You could run a proper WiFi Hotspot, even have paying customers! ;o) Cor

AK - 22.07.13 7:19 pm A fantastic service you are providing. I stumbled upon it when I was looking for static IP address. I have gotten to the part where I can go to the TCP/IP window and chose the IP and default addresses in the 'Use the Following Ip address' window. But I am stuck on the DNS server and Alternate server selection and I wonder what to use for the DNS and the Alternate DNS. Also, I have checked the IP address by using IPconfig command and I have placed in the IP address box. I wonder if I have to use the last digit as 3 or use the same one that I obtained from the command prompt. I will highly appreciate if you can support me in setting up an IP camera so i can port forward and be able to view the camera remotely. Although I have port forwarded by following directions from the web sites, but still dont know if I must use services of NO-IP etc. and pay to open an account for an address that I should use, as you can see form my writeup, i am not IT savy, but since I have bought this camera, I would like to remotely monitor. Appreciate your kind assistance. Regards, All the information you need is here (as well as IP-Cam specifics in the replies). If you want personal service, get in touch! ;o) Cor

Mike Griffen - 14.09.13 12:08 am This is a great site for a lot of things I never knew. But: I found it looking for a simple way to help out a friend and while you can do it on your site, I can't help her that way. She has a Home Internet account and they will not sell her a static IP. I figured the easy way out would be a utility to check the current public ip against a stored variable (which would be the IP that worked before). If different, I could use Blat to send a short message with the new Dynamic IP. She uses it to monitor a home security system. I usually think of the hardest way first but even if there is an easy way, I have tried all day to figure a way to write a short script to perform those tasks. I tried typing in corz.org/ip and sure enough, there it was. So how can I do that from a command line and save to output so I can write a batch file or some5thing to do it for her. She has computers at the hose that are always on. Easy to setup a run every hour, if change detected, save new ip in the CheckVariable and send a copy to her with simple mailer program. The simple answer is, forget the IP address, use ddns. In other words, get her to sign up to noip.com, grab a free dynamic host name, setup a ddns client (most routers can do it, or a DUC running on any computer at the home) and use the host name to connect home. If setup correctly, the host name will always point to the correct address. ;o) Cor
