airport and PC....

[tommyboy123x]

my set up is as followed:

Comcast Cable internet -->cable modem --> airport extreme base station --> wired computer and wireless computer

so my airport has a LAN connection to my apple, and a wireless connection to my PC. I want to be able to us IIS or other web hosts, and i need to have an IP address of my own, not an assigned on (i think).

for example, my IP is 71.231.xxx.xxx, but it is assigning my PC the IP of 10.0.1.3 (as determined by trial and error as well as ipconfig).

is there any way to type in something like http://71.231.xxx.xxx[10.0.1.3], or something similar.

if not, how can i make it so my computer has a unique ip (without buying a new one, preferably)

i have the IP distributing on, because when it is off, i don't know how to connect to the internet

thanks!

oh yea, and btw, i have DHCP enabled (im pretty sure this is wrong) and obvously my IP range is in the 10.0.1.xxx.

i would also prefer it if there was a way for it to go cable modem --> PC via LAN, and then Apple

my apple isnt as good as my PC and doesn't take advantage of a LAN speed... it has "fast" ethernet, not gigabyte ethernet . but in all seriousness, this would be better if it would be wired to my PC and then wireless to my Apple.

thanks!

71.* is your internet IP, 10.* is your LAN IP.

You may be interested in using a dynamic DNS service like http://www.dyndns.com/about/

If you are running IIS you should be able to access the server by your internet IP whether or not it is dynamic...it is just easier for servers to be static.
