CreativeWeb: What do you mean please be more specific To configure a static IP on a windows machine, go to Network and sharing centre, where it says connections, click on your connection type (it will either be Wireless or Ethernet). Click on Properties, go to where it says Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) click on properties again, then you will see a window like this: Click on "use the following address" to configure IP address information statically. Typically speaking, on a home network, most subnet masks are /24 (or 255.255.255.0). Default Gateway is the IP address that your router is located at (your gateway to the internet). Preferred DNS (Domain Name server) is what resolves IP addresses to text URLs. So an example is Google's DNS server(s). One of them is located at the IP address of 8.8.8.8 Typically speaking, your ISP provides DNS services. I am not with you, so I don't know your configuration.

Fulaman198: Thank you. So in a nutshell, I am the one to define the ip i want, then subnet mask wil enter automatically. Now how do I get the default gateway? I use airtel sim in my modem, should I call airtel to ask them about the gateway ip? |

CreativeWeb: Your default gateway is always a local IP address, meaning you never call your Mobile carrier. I'm trying to not to get too technical here. Please tell me what you are trying to do exactly. I don't want to confuse you with too much information. Sometimes we network engineers don't know when to stop. |

Well CreativeWeb I'm going to be working on a project regarding A.I. I'll talk to you later. |

Fulaman198: The issue is that I want to setup a static ip on my computer. I have read lots of info online. I have types ipconfig/all in cmd.exe while connected to the internet and i saw an ip, subnet mask and default gateway of 0.0.0.0, but when i put that, the system will raise an alarm that it must start with 1. I want to setup a static ip. My problem now is how and where to get those numbers. |
Re: How To Get Static Local IP For My Window 7 Computer by persius555(m): 11:21am On Jul 10, 2015 |
Ur ip address should be in this format: 192.168.x.x (ip address), 255.255.255.0 (subnet mask) 192.168.x.1 (gateway address), where x could be any no btween 1-254. Note, the first x must be the same both on ip address and default gateway, but the gateway address should end with 1 as above. |

CreativeWeb: Just follow the instructions here and provide screenshots with issues you may be having. |
Re: How To Get Static Local IP For My Window 7 Computer by CreativeWeb(m): 9:25am On Jul 11, 2015 |
Fulaman198: I have created it. How do I know I got it right. How can I test it. |
Re: How To Get Static Local IP For My Window 7 Computer by Fulaman198(m): 7:08pm On Jul 11, 2015 |
CreativeWeb: Can you post some screenshots? It's easy to say you created it, we need to know what you did in order to verify that you did it correctly |
Re: How To Get Static Local IP For My Window 7 Computer by shawlxAk(m): 7:15pm On Jul 11, 2015 |
CreativeWeb: What are you testing? If you are connecting to the internet via home mobile broadband as you hinted, then there is no point assigning a static IP to your computer. As a home user, you will always be assigned a private IP address with which to access the Internet via your ISP's public IP address. ISPs give static IP usually to business broadband customers for a fee. |
Re: How To Get Static Local IP For My Window 7 Computer by CreativeWeb(m): 9:11pm On Jul 11, 2015 |
shawlxAk: Does that mean I should call airtel to request a static ip from them? |
Re: How To Get Static Local IP For My Window 7 Computer by shawlxAk(m): 10:07pm On Jul 11, 2015 |
CreativeWeb: You can contact them and ask about the possibility of obtaining a data sim card with a static IP address. |

crotsz: So are the ISP people in Nigeria? My bulk sms international gateway is requesting me to send a static ip to them so that they use it to setup an account for me. |

CreativeWeb:Get in touch with any 4G LTE provider agents, they might be able to help with a static ip. |
Re: How To Get Static Local IP For My Window 7 Computer by amarawa: 3:20am On Jul 13, 2015 |
I 've been following this guy's thread. The thread has been confusing until when OP mentioned what he wants to achieve. It seems the bulk sms guy wants to remotely connect to his pc. If that is d case he can achieve it with Teamviewer. Or any ssh based process. I assume I understand the guy. |
Re: How To Get Static Local IP For My Window 7 Computer by CreativeWeb(m): 4:28am On Jul 13, 2015 |
I am in talks with spectranet.com.ng now. Thanks to you all. |
Re: How To Get Static Local IP For My Window 7 Computer by amarawa: 5:01am On Jul 13, 2015 |
I will be glad to get feedback when you are done with spectranet because I asked them for static public IP address too They said they only give it to organizations and not individuals and it comes with a price. I currently use Teamviewer for remote connections but prefer VPN. |
Re: How To Get Static Local IP For My Window 7 Computer by CreativeWeb(m): 11:18am On Jul 13, 2015 |
amarawa: I contacted spectranet and they said that the requirements are: * CAC registration certificate * Id Card (National Id card, driving license or intl passport) * Passport photograph * Prove of address (utility bill) * A letter of request for a static ip on company's letterhead and then fill a form they attached to the email and send everything to care@spectranet.com.ng and then send the hard copies to any nearest branch of spectranet. I have met the above requirements. I have a registered company with cac - Bold ICT Solutions. I asked them about the cost, they said they offer it FREE to registered companies. I am happy. Although I was ready to pay them. |
Re: How To Get Static Local IP For My Window 7 Computer by amarawa: 12:31pm On Jul 13, 2015 |
Good. I will use my company to get one too. |
Re: How To Get Static Local IP For My Window 7 Computer by persius555(m): 2:20pm On Jul 13, 2015 |
CreativeWeb:Thanks men for the clarification. A spectranet agent mentioned it was free some time ago. I thought he wasnt sure of what he was saying. |
