    Are all your PCs connected to your router ? .
    If yes then you can get the router to handout a static IP to a specific PC. Normally you enter the MAC address of the PC and then the address you wish it to use in the routers setup program. The router should always be 192.168.0.1 and all other PCs should increment up from it. ie 192.168.0.2 etc.

    jonneymendoza I've said it once....and I'll say it again......how are you at university doing a computer related course ???

    How can "all machine" have "the static IP" the point of IP addresses is that each computer uses a unique one.

    I assume your wanting one machine to "proxy" traffic out onto the internet from your other machines.

    From what you've said about yout config your router using none routeable IP addresses 192.168.x.x to connect your PC's together internally, and then your router has a internet forward facing IP address which it masqurades / NAT's traffic out of on behalf of your PC's.

    If this is the case, your already pretty much there in regards to your config.

    the Router will be the machine that gets/uses the static IP address, from what you've said about your network setup, the local machines will continue to use the 192.168 address ranges.

    However - you can't just tell your router to use a static IP address, your ISP will have to assign a static IP address to your account, and then the rotuer can be changed to use a static IP address, you can't just switch from dynamic to static without agreeing with your ISP.

    The final question should be, why do you feel you need a static IP ? a lot of ISP's have long leases on their DHCP addresses, so if its for hosting a online game for example you'd probably be ok as your address would only change once every 2 months for example.
    It is Inevitable.....

    so say if i want to connect to my server from outside my network i'e on the web/WAN i simply input the ip address currently assigned to me by the isp and boom im connected? wouldnt i have to input the local ip 192.168.x.x for the actual pc that is running on the server as well? my firewall has NAT built into it and the local ip address 192.168.x.x is hidden inside the local network

    o ok cool thanks for the info, i'l go have a mess around with this new knowledge given to me

    depends if your server is doing NAT or Masqurade, and if your 192.38 address is visible on the internet, or just the private network.

    You can always just put the server in the DMZ, or if youve got any common, forward the ports you need for whatever services youre running

    Jonney - You are close to a ban

    Avoiding swear filters doesn't work for anyone.

    I am unimpressed.

    not sure what you're trying to achieve here but there really isn't any need for a static ip as you can always use a dynamic dns service to give your server a dns name hence negating the need for an p address. as long as you run a program that can update the dynamic dns service. www.dyndns.org is a good one
