How to bypass a dynamic IP and the DHCP server....
 

someone enlighten me please.....

I can do it, but it only lasts until they update the DHCP server, which is every damn day.....

yes, essentially, I'm trying to get out of paying for the SOHO package until I move into the new house..... I'm running this shit nto my router and splitting it, using the router as the gateway and the DHCP server... I'm forcing the IP from the ISP. How can I make it stick.......

well you can't really make it stick, they probebly have a auto switch IP's. Well Release them and give new one outs.

Why would you want to keep the same IP, are you too cheap to get hosting and you want to host oln your home computer?

:)

I'm sorry... was I not clear in my first post? Please... forgive me... allow me to rephrase:


any further questions about "hosting from my home computer"?

No. I'm not hosting from my 'home computer'.... I'm trying to split my freakin' pipe here without paying for a static IP for the next month until I get moved into the new house. How the FUCK do you come up with "I'm trying to host on my home computer" from that?

If it's just a small network of computer that you want them to have access to the internet, well just go buy a Linksys Router, i have 2 of those and they work fairly well. with one router you can plug up to 254 computers on it. Easy to configure and it's a cheap router, around $80.

All you need to do is plug more Hub if you want more then 4 computers on your computer, you need to get some Cross Over Cat 5 cables to connect from router to hub, and straigh cables from router or hub to computers.

I think that is what you want to know...

or if you want to have more speed, just get 2 connections at home, and get this sweet router.

This will allow you to have 2 connection to the internet at the same time, buy doing that it will do load balancing, and all that crap. Pretty cool thinking of getting one.

I have Linksys routers.... several of them.

you have completely overlooked my question.

The cable pipe coming in is running from a DHCP server. Well ya can't plug DHCP into a router, config the router as a gateway, and pipe it back out ALSO on DHCP.... it just don't freakin' work.....

the incoming pipe needs to be static. Fine. I run a simple ipconfig, get the numbers, plug it into the router, and SHAZAM!! functional routing to the systems...... BUT: it's only good from the morning to the evening because they constantly refresh their DHCP servers.... meaning, my DYNAMIC IP (remember, it's not static.... I'm forcing it at this point) has changed.......

so...... back to my original question: How the hell can I make a forced IP stick? Or is it not possible? If it's not possible, that's cool..... I just need to know so I can stop pulling my hair out here.

Stop pulling your hair out, you can't force an Ip unless your in control of the Router.

Unless you can get your ISP to assign you a static IP.

that's what I thought..... thank you. All I needed to know.

Ok so you have a Dynamic DHCP internet provider, i got a CAble connection at home and it's on a DHCP network, and i configured my Linksys to do a DHCP on a DHCP connections.

If you need help to configure it shoot me a ICQ, it works, i'm doign it. :)

And your Linksys router should pick up the new IP when you get changed...

are you running out to multiple systems or are you plugged only to one system?

do you mean if i have more then 1 computer connected on my router? if so yes i have 4 at home connected.

and answer your ICQ
