Isnt the public ip available in /cmd? Or is it compulsary to ring the isp about it

[TheGabblerCV]

here in aus, you have to ring up youre isp to get a static ip

This is the way I have always done it. My PC has had a static IP for years and I only need to remember to do it whenever I do major OS upgrades or move networks. (Sometimes annoying to figure out why the internet isn't working when you forget about it lol)

Are you wanting an internal or external static IP? For an external IP, you've normally got to ring your ISP. For an internal IP, there are two ways of doing it under Windows for IPV4.

 

Option 1

1. Open Network and sharing center
2. Select adapter settings
3. Right click on the connector you are using, eg WiFi or Ethernet controller and select properties
4. scroll down to find IPV4 and select properties
5. Tick the boxes for Use following address and Use following DNS service

• For IP, run ipconfig (command line) and it'll show your current IPV4 address plus the default gateway and subnet mask
  • Eg 192.168.1.5, 255.255.255.0 and 192.168.1.1
• For DNS, there are speed testers out there to find your best DNS for speed however most use the defaults for google; 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

The downside of doing it this way is if the device is powered off and your router renews the DHCP leases for devices, it may issue whatever IP was assigned to your PC to another device.

 

The other way of doing it (option 2) is to log into your router and find the DHCP lease table and manually define the IP there. That way even if the PC is powered off, the router knows not to assign that IP to another device. This is the most common way of doing it. For further information on how to do this, consult the device manual.

Are you asking about a static public IP or a static private IP? You're not being too specific here.

Don't bother asking for manual or going through the router its a complete mess my router was provided by the isp and isp itself is a nuisance of its own my router's UPnP doesnt work/Speed is 100kbps (slow) and the isp keeps telling me that port forwarding is for telephone lines.So in other words the isp arent professionals.I just want to enjoy playing a NAT opened GTA Online.

For now what i know is when i connect to my neighbours wifi (wireless) its NAT is open when i use my ethernet cable for my wifi its strict so i rly dont know whats the problem here

I normally have my router give me my gateway since I have 3 DNS servers setup with it. So all I do for DNS is put the gateway address.

Normally I'll just use googles dns though, so 8.8.8.8 as primary, and 8.8.8.4 (I think!) as alternate

For me I need to ask my ISP.

And the times I've done the questions have been endless

(For an external)

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Are you trying to set a static IP for your router or simply your host machine?

^We need to know this to help. If you want your laptop/desktop to have a static IP, that's easy. If you want your house to have a static IP address, that is a whole other story.
