There are two ways to figure out the DNS information. The router has a Status page that gives the IP addresses for your ISP's DNS servers. Just enter those numbers in when you configure a static IP address. The other way is to use the "ipconfig /all" command in a command prompt. That will also display the IP addresses of the DNS servers. Those numbers don't change often if ever. When configuring your machine to use a static IP you also need to set the gateway IP. That will be the address of your router. That information shows up in the "ipconfig /all" output as well.

Changing IP addresses! Date sent: Thu, 12 May 2005 00:20:12 -0400 [ Double-click this line for list subscription options ] VNC List: I am having some trouble setting up my RealVNC on some computers behind my Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I have a basic understanding of how everything works, but I'm getting tangled up in the port forwarding and DHCP stuff. Here is the main problem: On my server desktop, I am running VNC Server along with DynDNS Updater so I can keep up with the dynamic Comcast High-Speed IP address. Therefore, when I type in xxx.dyndns.org, I should be able to access my computer. Here is the problem however: Sometimes when I restart the desktop with VNC server, the IP address will change (192.168.1.102 to 192.168.1.106). When it switches IPs, 106 does not have port forwarding on and I can no longer access it. Because I am still running testing, I simply open up port 5900 on 192.168.1.106 and the xxx.dyndns.org address will work out fine. Attempting to access it via the actual IP address (192.168.1.106) works fabulously. I just can't seem to figure out how to keep up with the DHCP giving me new IPs. (Keep in mind, the above testing deals with all LAN-side testing.) I have tried setting a static IP, but I don't know the DNS information, so I think that contributed to my loss of Internet. What other options are there? Thanks!
