Ip

[WatchersOn209]

Both 1,2 need dial-up to use internet, both use router(wireless and wired), this system is from regions in UK apartments, bytheway.

1. i can use a router for sharing one ip by isp and local ip by setup via 192.xx.xx.xx .
2. I'd like to set up my computers to use the internet with only one ip given by isp. dialup can be only for 1 pc, the other pc has to dial up too to get a new dilivered ip. I try setting up ips in ip property wizard but this doesn't show me any setup ip when i ipconfig from the command prompt. :confused: . of course no internet then for that computer.
my isp gives me one static ip and advises me to use dhcp
static ip doesn't work also if i.e comp1 is connected, and static ip is set up for use on comp2.

plugincable ----|router| ---- comp1

comp2
by the way which one is more preferrable or should be used?

Thank you

DHCP is preferable to static ips. I only use static ip addresses for printers, servers, routers, etc. All workstations use DHCP.

The router ( WAN side) should have the static ip given to you by your isp. Your router should be your DHCP server and hand out ip addresses (192.xxx.xxx.xxx) to comp1 and comp2.

Hope this helps.
