I got a local network in my home 4 computers 2 desktops and 2 laptop 3 of the 4 are wireless my problame is that the 3 wireless computers have no problames with shearing file or viuing files but my one desktop can SOMETIMES be sean and have files sent to but when your on that computer you see nothing it is shared now i think is has to do with ip but i have no idea how to con figure fix
the 3 computers that work have ips that are simler like
192.168.2.13
192.168.2.15
192.168.2.14
but the one that seam to come and go (disapear and reapear)has an ip that is my internet ip it is hosting webserver
and also is DMZplus Enabled in my 2wire modem/router
so is there a way i can get all computer to share files

If you take that computer out of the DMZ and assign it a local static IP like 192.168.2.10 and forward port 80 in your router to that IP, then your webserver will still work and it should resolve the sharing issue. Let alone make your computer more safe since it's not wide open to the public.

If you don't want to take it out of the DMZ, you should be able to assign the NIC an additional IP address and make that IP similar to your other computers on the LAN and that should resolve the issue as well.

How would i assign a new/another ip to NIC

The computer that is open to the internet is running

Windows 7 Rc it has window firewall but no anivirous

After looking at the settings in Vista, since that computer is the one getting the IP from your ISP....this means it's in DHCP mode. You'd have to take it out of DHCP mode in order to assign additional IPs to the NIC.

Looks like your only choice may be to take that PC out of the DMZ and only forward ports you need.

now if i change it back to an ip like 192.168.2.1 and lose dmz my isp uses dynaic ips so i had to sing up for coustom dns at dyndns.org so when my ip changes it updates my doman name will i have to change that to or will that be ok

[wimiadmin]

You should be ok due to the fact that the dyndns update client will continue to update your account at dyndns with your current IP address.

I got a 2wire 27001hg-g modem/router i took it out of dmz and opend port 80 but it did not work it had an ip of 192.198.2.16 and it kept saying that tcp someting was using it and udp said it was closed i even changed the ip to 192.168.2.10 and that did not work ither i can only get it to work when it is set to the internet ip webserver will only work if it has ip of public ip address

Looks like this might be your answer...
1. found out the port for tibia server which is 7171.
2. Then i went to the bell site to my router which was 192.168.x.x (whatever urs is)
3. I then clicked Application support and right after that i clicked Enable Application Support.
4. Where it says "Edit application settings for this computer" Under the box of many programs i clicked "• Add a new user-defined application".
5. In the Application Name Box, i typed in Tibia.
I chose TCP for the protocol. and Port (or Range): i put in 7171 in both boxes. I chose the Application Type as Games. and clicked ADD DEFINITION.
6. It Then brings me back to the Enable Application Support Page - Edit Application Settings. There i do Step one, i chose the PC, David's PC. Then i clicked Tibia and clicked ADD. Then when Tibia moved into the little Box, I clicked Done at the lower right page.
7. When that was finished i went to www.whatismyip.com and got my IP address. I gave it out to my friends to join my server.
8. When i set up my server i put in the ip address and host, but i found out, why can't i use this ip? Then i tried my router ip which was 192.168.x.x (x means i dont want to give out my numbers). I then tried to connect to my server and i did, along with 19 other people around the world.

Got the instructions from http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r190...arding-problem

Ok what i found out is that i can not check if this is working as i would need a nother connection to internet
but i read that when i took my computer out of dmz and opened port 80 that cause this is done with my home network (i host my webserver from home)that i can not use my public ip so www.howman.ca would not work to get to my website i would have to use localhost to actess my website wich if i have to use localhost is no good cause the cookie setting in my site are not setup for localhost and as far as i can tell i can only have the one setting

right now i got dmz off and from what i read my site should still be running i guess i will wait till my friend comes on to ask him if www.howman.ca is working
untill i figure out away around this i may have to leve it like this for now

I'm able to get to your site right now.

When you take that computer out of the DMZ, your router gets assigned your public IP. Once you forward port 80 from your router to your web server, all http requests will go to the web server. And it will work with your public IP. I've hosted sites from my house before with a dynamic IP just like you're talking about and was successful.
