Hello,
Im using MTNL's Triband service for accessing the Internet at home . I have never requested a static ip address from MTNL, however whenever im connected to the Internet, I see that my ip address is constant , something like 192.168.1.x , where x is the same all the time.I am new to networking and stuff so please excuse me if my questions sound a bit noobish :)
Ok,so i have the following two questions :
- Is this ip address of mine a static ip address ?. If not , then why
does it stay the same all the time ?
The same IP address is available from the pool each time, I guess.
- 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.
Could this help? http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_setup_a_public_server_using_the...
