Static Ip Changer Program Comcast

Then learned I need Comcast biz to get a static IP. I'm on comcast residential and I've only had my ip change twice in the past 3 years- that said, I still don't trust it to stay for long.

Because you can't think of a reason you berate the guy. He probably tries to connect to his home computer from a different site and is tired of Comcast changing his ip. Yes, I know there are sites like No-Ip.com which will help but why do you have to go through a third party. I went on vacation and in the middle of it my home ip address changed and I lost contact with my home computer. Things like Quicken were no longer assessible, I couldn't transfer my photos to my home computer and a few other inconvenciencies. These are some of the things that you can do with a static ip address.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I stream my music files to my G1 and when the address changes I have no more music or access to some of the other files on my home computer. Simple question of how to do something, why be so rude. Jbs1136 wrote: Thanks, good answer about contacting comcast. However the personnel page doesn't offer much support because of the limited size. I have close to 6 gigs of music and that is just what I listen to. As for photos, considerably more.

I have started shooting RAW with a 12 mp camera and the files are huge. Thanks for the suggestion though. I will contact comcast about that.

Simple question of how to do something, why be so rude. John The OP did not provide any details so I provided the best answer possible. There was nothing rude in my response. I suggested getting a business account as that is what is needed to get a staic ip address from Comcast. I also pointed out that I can't think of anything that would require a static ip address. I still can't.

You can do all the things you point out using a dynamic ip address if you set up a dynamic DNS service. That is what dynamic DNS is for. As for going through a third party, it is just the DNS service that is performed by a third party. Your connection nor your data goes through the third party DNS server. Setting up dynamic DNS just resolves your dynamic ip address, nothing else.

John If you're planning on operating a web server, that's another reason to switch to a business account. Running servers is against the Terms of Service for residential accounts. Another possibility is to sign up with a web hosting service.

That's likely to be less expensive than a business account with Comcast. Not planning on running a web server, just want to be able to connect to my home computer when I am away. As I stated before, I would like to have the ability to upload my photos to my home computer (more space there) and to access my checking info (quicken) in the event that I need to. Maybe, stream some music from my home computer to my phone or laptop while away. I don't think any of these things constitute running a webserver or would require my getting a business account. Again, why would I want to run my connection through someone not necessary. If I had a static connection I could connect, instead you propose I sign up for an account with someone else and rely on them to maintain my access to my home computer.

Why would I want to do that? Yes I know it is simple and easy but not as easy as if I had a static address.

You don't have to do anything except register the name you want. But it appears you are set on getting a static ip address. I think, as I said previously, that Comcast no longer provides static ip addresses to residential customers. Static ip addresses are an add-on to the business account. Using a Dynamic DNS service does not mean you are 'running your connection through someone else'. All it means is that you are using a 3rd party service to provide you with DNS resolution for an easy-to-remember hostname that you pick and associate with the Internet IP on your router (assuming you have a router). As previously mentioned.

Most home routers have the ability to automatically update the Dynamic DNS service you have chosen whenever the IP on your Comcast connection changes (which is rarely anymore, unless Comcast have done any major work on their networks in your area). Personally, I have had the same IP for at least 2 years now.and I use DynDNS for name resolution.Accessing my 'stuff' at home while I am away couldn't be easier. If you don't have a router, DynDNS provide a client that will run on your PC at home to update their information if your Internet IP changes. Last post and I will go away quietly. I would like to have a static ip address. I do not want to use 3d party software/web sites/etc. The more you use the greater chance for something to go wrong.

I am looking for the simple solution and everyone wants to add steps to my process. The more steps the more chance for something to go wrong. My home network, behind a router, is one Win XP, and 3 Linux computers.

I just would like to be able to go from my laptop to my desktop when I am away from home. I do not want to run a web server. I would be using a program called Quicken on my home computer running on wine.

Why would I want to add in all these other things. If I had a static ip I could **bleep**o my home computer, forward my X display to my laptop do what I need to do. All this can be run by a simple script. Why would anyone want to connect through the web and a third party is beyond me. I know people who do it, including my oldest son who uses Vista. I can do the same and more in less steps than he can and I don't have to contact anyone on the web to ask for the correct ip. No further comments are required.

I have my way of doing things and so does everyone else. I will just continue as I am until someone is able to break the francise and give us a choice of Internet providers and I am not forced to use Comcast which offers nothing outside of the connection that I find useful or Qwest which I tried and actually hated. Poorer service and support and they wanted me to use MSN!
