how to achieve this please yes Google was my friend I did find lovely tutorials just they were all for Linux Ubuntu 10 below, so I am using this as an excuse as to why I can not give my Linux webserver a static ip well can do that bit but cant get my routers external ip address the one the world sees to stay static. even though my port 80 is not blocked know this as I can reach server from outside network with what ever ip the dhcp has assigned. obviously every time it changes my site is lost to the world. now my isp dns servers are hidden not know were to be found on internet. so I sneaky obtained them as in the united states its against the law for the dns servers to be hidden so with a lot of messing around I finally got hold of all their information's dns server upv4,ASN num, ASN name ISP, IP range subnet but still even armed with this information I still failed to assign a static ip address to my router. ENTER NO MATER HOW MANY TIMES I PRESS IT DOSE NOT WORK IN THIS FORUM,<BR>

1) A static public IP address is something you have to organize with your ISP
2) Try using the "advanced" editor: the forum is switched so that HTML codes are disabled in posts.

Threads merged. Starting multiple threads for the same problem just confuses us, and dilutes the community's ability to help.

Please don't use HTML tags in your posts, they have been disabled in this forum. Try using the "advanced" editor and BBCODE for your posts. (See next post)

sorry mate not learning another code hard enough getting to grips with Linux without having to use some obscure code to format in a Linux forum input page haven't got time any answers to important questions as I did state not having ago just a bit strange compared to the other 6 forums I am a member off if being different and harder to use than average forum gets you visits then fair paly. kind regards

BBCode is standard to all forum software that I have come across. Please stop trying to use html - it won't work - for obvious reasons.

If you are not able to enter line breaks, the most likely explanations are that you have a browser issue, or you are blocking javascript on this forum

On your own network, organizing a static IP address for any (or all) of your machines is your business. There are different ways of achieving this, some of which involve changing settings in your router, and other involve changing settings on the devices connected to your router.

When it comes to organizing a static public IP address, you have no choice but to involve your ISP. They are in charge of the IP addresses assigned to devices connected to their network.

I beg to differ brother the dhcp range is in charge of giving us ip address the ISP has no control over who receives what ip address they have a range the dhcp protocols invoke this range the router updates we get ip to get a static we need to know dns servers then when we apply from our router the dhcp protocls on network update to static then the static ip protocols kick in and I am given one from a pre defined range no humans need be involved.
