Is the reason I can use only one PC at a time to connect to the Internet because my broadband provider (WiMax) has issued me a static address? And when I start the second machine I get a 'conflict' error message. Adding to the confusion is the Wimax company is different to my ISP so I don't know who (or what) to ask.
ISPs usually only assign one IP address to residential clients. If you'd like to use multiple devices, you'd have to use a NAT router on your end behind the cable/dsl/wimax modem (some cable/dsl gateways already include NAT routing functionality in them). What NAT routers do is assign local/internal IP addresses to all your devices, and translate traffic to that one external IP assigned by your ISP.
So, your problem seems to be that you're not using NAT, not your WiMax ISP.
Thanks for the article , just one query , though it is mentioned that we need to have a static ip address for connecting to a computer remotely , but is it possible to connect to a comuputer which will have dynamic address.
i.e i started my computer and now one dynamic ip address is assigned to my computer , i go to some other place and try to connect to this computer remotely
I have a problem related with it
I m using dynamic IP as my Internet connection and Static IP as my LAN connection, both using with different LAN cards in a system. but the problem arises when I uses both the network at the same time. my internet connection does not work when LAN is also connected. help!!
the main reason i use static ips vs dynamic ips is because i do work with google and bing and if your ip addrress changes they think something fishy is going on and will ban your account. If my account gets banned then i cant work and my family suffers. i have to have an ip address that never changes. i cant even take my laptop to a restaurant and work without getting banned. if your not working as an affiliate marketer then it doesnt matter with type of ip you use. Hope this helps...
Thanks for the clarification about difference between static and dynamic ip address assignment.
I find that when there is a repeater configured on the wifi network, my smartphone does not gets stuck by showing 'obtaining ip address' when I try to connect it on repeater ssid. Can you help me to get internet access when I want to connect thru repeater. |
