In the first place, please put a meaningful subject line - this is
not a Triband Query, it is a question of hosting a website with a
dynamic IP. You do not have a static IP. The router you use has an
internal IP - 192.168.1.x or something, and you are on the same lan
as that. So your IP is also 192.168.1.y. The router has an external
IP which will change each time you reconnect to the net.
2) If I want to host my website on my computer which anyone on the
internet can access, how do i go about it ? . I have some basic
idea of
port forwarding and read some of the tutes on www.portforward.com,
which were really informative, but im still not sure how i can host a
website on my computer which anyone can access.
If you do port forwarding, your site will appear on the dynamic IP
you have got. Which means that the IP of your site will change
everytime you reconnect. Which means that you cannot host a domain on
the site since no dns service will service a dynamic domain. You
would probably also get the IP blacklisted for hosting on a dynamic
ip. For your friends, you can do port forwarding and phone them to
tell them which IP they need to go to.
