newls1 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 I'm not very smart when it comes to this IP stuff, but I was hoping someone could explain this to me. Apparently My IP Address changes a few times during the day (Using the same PC, and im using bellsouth shitty ass DSL 3mb connection) I've noticed it seems like every 2 or so hours my IP address changes, and I must always re-log back on this forum, and just over the years i've been here, it just gets annoying over time, and this seems to be the only forum that happens to. I've never had to always keep logging back on using any other forum. I just learned yesterday (watching my modem properties that my IP address changes) And this forum might be sensitive to that, and that is why I have to always keep logging back in. Is there a way to have a "Static IP" so it wont keep changing? I hope I wont have to call bellsouth (AT&T) to speak to there customer service, they're a bunch of really dumb idiots, and never help full. Thanks for any help you may provide me with.

Dial-up connections receive a new IP address each time a new connection is made. I am not too informed on ip address issues or if your subnet changes and maybe that is an issue? My friend does this for a living and is more certified than anyone in his company so if your problem is not resolved by tonight I should have some answers for you Quote My build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...8920&st=100 http://www.youtube.com/Bulletinjection

J00bles Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) you post a lot, dont you bulletinjection? one of the few ways i've found to keep you IP the same, is to buy a cheap router from your local store. this worked for me, but may not work for you as i have Cox Digital 12mb/s internet Edited August 28, 2009 by J00bles Quote 8 DC Level 4 M2 15s2 DC Audio 5ks26^2 clamshell tuned to 30hz9 Kinetik 1400sMechman externally reg'd 340 S seriesin a 99 Jeep Cherokee Click to see J00bles' Youtube Channel
n8ball2013 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 I'm not too familiar with the way that DLS operates or the way that your ISP assigns IPs but you are not going to get a static ip. You receive your address through DHCP. What that does is gives them flexibility. If you had a static IP it would be assigned directly to you and they would have to monitor what IPS were assigned to what user . Very pain staking and a very high chance of an IP conflict happening. I've done this and for any large network its best to use DHCP. The only statically assigned IPs you will find are servers printers and networking gear. Having an IP lease that expires every two hrs is ridiculous though. Most times it will be 24 hrs . I'm not sure if your DSL disconnects after a period of inactivity. That may be something to look into. If you can keep your connection alive you may not have to login every time you visit the forum. However if your ISP has a DHCP lease of 2 hours there is nothing you can really do about it except complain.

It is just stored on your router. However if your Ip lease expires due to inactivity this may fix that since it will always be connected and should always be active. NEWLS you may want to call customer service and inquire into their DHCP lease policies. If you can do that it can shed some light on things. I imagine there DHCP servers go nuts with that many lease renews.

I am behind a wireless router as well (D-Link DR655) Anyways, I went into my DSL modem properties (192.........) and did find a setting that read "Connection Type" and the option where "ALWAYS ON" "INACTIVITY SHUT OFF" "DISABLE" It was on Inactivity shut off, so I put it on ALWAYS ON! That was about 10 minutes ago, and my IP changed 2 times already!!!...............but I didnt have to log back on the forums....so I guess this wasn't my issue.

n8ball2013 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 if you are behind a wireless router oyu can statically assign your own IP. Since its just you on that network set your Ip to something in the subnet and start your DHCP scope above that IP or assign one to the far end of your scope. One question . is it your IP on your computer or the IP assigned by your ISP?

n8ball2013 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) lol see. Im just the opposite. Screw desktop stuff. networking IIS load balancing thats my thing. Well it should be I get paid for it. Do this. go to run - type cmd and hit enter type ipconfig -all that will list your IP address. the addy for your computer is probably 192.168.1.xxx your ISP will have another IP. it will fall into the same subnet as your default gateway if your default gateway is 24.26.101.1 your ip should be something close to that. which IP changes. the 192 or the one similar to your default gateway. hell if you can post a screenshot of the full ipconfig I can work with that as well.
