Static IP and dynamic IP with 2 computers

is this in a company or home
is this static IP address provided by the ISP or is this a static IP you want to set
if so why are you setting a static IP ?

whats the make and model of the router you have ?

 

If you want your ISP to provide two public IPs you need to talk with them. If you contract with them for two IPs also ask them if and how that can work with your current modem/router.

 

you may also want to discuss bandwidth issues with them
having a webserver on the end of a telephone line type broadband connection is going to be very limiting and slow
as to deliver the pages and content is using your upload speed

 

Or just use the one IP address and assign it to the router, then just use your router to forward the ports you need to the web server so it can't be accessibly from the internet. You don't need an ISP assigned address for each computer you have, that's the point of the router. In your internal network you can have multiple computers that share a single external ISP IP address.

 

Log into your router, go to the WAN or Internet Setup page and change the connection type to Static IP and enter the static IP provided by your ISP. You must first obtain the static IP address from your ISP which is usually an extra fee.

 

You might want to explain in better detail what you are trying to do or show us a network diagram of the network equipment and computers you are trying to configure. Doesn't sound like you have much networking experience.

 

The computers will indeed still have the same internal IP addresses as before, that's fine. You should not be assigning the server the same IP address as you did to the WAN connection, it needs to have an internal IP address set that matches the IP scheme of your internal network, it should be statically set as well but not with the external IP address from the ISP. I think you are well over your head on this one. What exactly is this web server for anyways? What will it be hosting, what ports does it need to have opened?

 

Don't have Visio on this computer so Paint will have to do. Here's what the setup should look like.

 

Triple6, Give Network Notepad Free Edition a try. I love Visio but it is just as capable for network diagrams.
