| 680672 | 2008-06-20 23:22:00 | You can change it to a static one any number of times you want by right-clicking the network connection icon in the taskbar (in XP) and clicking Properties, then TCP/IP, Properties then entering the IP in the IP Address field and the IP of your router in the Default Gateway field. Click OK and your PC's IP is changed. |

| 680674 | 2008-06-20 23:25:00 | Your external internet-facing IP address will be given to you by your ISP, and that cannot be changed without rebooting your modem. You could mask your external IP by using a VPN service, such as HotspotSheild (free), which creates a "tunnel" between your computer, and a server somewhere. |

| 680677 | 2008-06-20 23:53:00 | You can put in any IP address under TCP/IP that you want Just as long as its within the range of the router's valid ip addresses You can leave it on AUTO, but some routers if you want to use add ports to it, for whatever, you need to change it to a static ip address (under TCP/IP), so it'll work. |
