IP changes too much

[Sakis]

Ok i was wondering if their was a way for me to keep my ip address from changing each few days and stuff…because it messes up my game and causes my friends that are helping me do maps and stuff to help me out. If someone could help me out with this it would be greatly appreciated because I am using a laptop and trying to work on it sometimes when i am home from school.

use no-ip.
they have an application that will auto-update your IP whenever you turn your computer on.

i used that but for some reason it still wasn't working the right way…it also kept changing for some reason...i will try it again

Try Hamachi, it is pretty easy and it GIVES you a custom non-changing IP (I think) and it is almost as powerful as using port forwarding, just a sudgestion, it is what I used (now I portforward)

You have what they call a dynamic IP address, meaning that it changes constantly. I'm not exactly sure how you can prevent your IP address from being dynamic, but contacting your ISP might help. Anyway, try following the advice of the other posters; either one should work, although I'd prefer using no-ip if I was in your situation. Hope everything works out!

Try making it static?

Sadly, you cannot just make a public IP address static, since it's assigned to you by your ISP, and alot of ISPs have where all their customers share IPs, so they usually send the first available IP address the user when he logs on.

I'd just port forward, and wing it with No-ip, or (dare I say it) use Hamachi

that what keeps happening when i log on at my home on my laptop…like it just changes each few days if i don't keep my home computer on and stuff.

i am using the no-ip because i can't even access my router that i bought and stuff for some reason...like the ip address for that has changed and its un reachable now.

I hate Himachi with a passion now because its just confusing all together...I am going to uninstall that thing because it doesn't even work properly.
