Now here's a question maybe you can answer.
I have a linksys router, which sets up a static IP address. I occasionally wish to set my comp up as an FTP (maybe have it going all the time) Unfortunately the FTP software needs a dynamic IP address (the linksys is the same for every router) Is there a way around this? Currently my method is to hook my comp straight to the cable modem, bypassing the router, but that kills my second PC's internet access. It's also a pain to get both reconfigured again.

I've done this but its very difficult to do.

 

[Jon]

easily

I've heard of an ancient indian technique, but it involves months of stretching excercises and getting into a very uncomfortable position. (like the back of a volkswagon.)

You have to configure the router through telnet or something.

I'm going to do some reading in my router's manual tonight. I just downloaded the PDF. I was just hoping for an easy solution.

What about getting a prog like DynIP? It'll make yer IP into something like whatever.dynip.com. Very handy for people who's IP changes often.

Ya, but thats only part of it. Once you get that then you have to configure the router to send certain IP's to your computer to let them through.

No probs. She's a nice prog, I used to use it myself when I had an FTP going on dialup
Don't have to worry about my IP changing now though.. 'cept every 2 months or so..

True, but that shouldn't be too hard to configure

It's my router that mucks things up, it sets a static IP address, which isn't unique to one computer.
If I knew my way around XP better this might not even be an issue.

No not if you know what your doing. You have to telnet into the router and set it up manualy. That could be kinda confusing for some.

It doesn't have anything to do with the operating system. The router automaticly determinds where the packets go upon a request.

 

[SmokeAlot]

XP I know is a pain in the arse for networking (setup anyway) since it's so different.. so I feel your pain brother

But telnet.. don't ask me.. I never touch the stuff

 

[Ghostrider]

You have to set up the parameters of the routing table in the router.
