| 1135304 | 2010-09-07 03:49:00 | Can the Internal Host IP Address be the same as my router? Router is: http://192.168.1.1/ See screen shot of error message and URL for instruction page (says "Static IP Address" ???) Screen Shot of error message. (www.imagef1.net.nz) Instruction page. (portforward.com) |

Run IPCONFIG from CMD. Start -> Run -> "CMD" enter -> "ipconfig" enter Default Gateway is usually your router. IP Address or IPv4 Address is the computer's Internal IP Address |

So set the PC to a static IP , one that no other device is using and away you go. The router is 192.168.1.1 so the static IP can be anything you like as long as nothing else is using it, Eg: 192.168.1.65 (depends on the range the router can take normally 1-254) |

All is OK now - Echolink is working perfectly. It has been awhile since I fiddled with IP addresses but now I remember - quite simple really. I just wanted to be sure, to avoid stuffing up my internet connection with an IP conflict. |

| 1135309 | 2010-09-07 09:34:00 | What uses IP Addresses on a computer besides a router (and the software that I have)? Skype? Bluetooth? The only other IP address I see using ipconfig is the Default Gateway.

| 1135310 | 2010-09-07 21:26:00 | Personally, I only do static addressing for routers\switches\printers and servers. You could of used the reservations function in the router so the PC gets the same address but is still on DHCP... | SolMiester (139) | ||

The only other IP address I see using ipconfig is the Default Gateway. The static IP is for the Computer and mainly used for remote access from anywhere in the world (not team viewer either), but as SolMiester said, I also have static IP's on Printers connected to the router, Servers, the Wii and even my Blu-Ray Player is connected to the LAN & has a static IP. | wainuitech (129) | ||
