Details on how to make a floating IP

Now we will discuss the issue of how to make a floating IP. This abbreviation is derived from the phrase Internet Protocol and refers to the personalized address of a computer connected to a local network or the Internet. Most often this parameter is permanent and is assigned by the network administrator. However, in certain situations, the question arises: "how to make a floating IP (dynamic)". We will try to solve this problem today.

Instructions

First of all, we appeal to the provider. We are assigned a floating IP address. After receiving when you connect the PC to the Network, you can use it for one session.

Without direct treatment

If you do not want to negotiate with the provider, however, you need to decide how to make a floating IP, request it automatically using the "Control Panel" and the "Network Connections" section. Then select "Internet Protocol" in the list, then click "Properties". Check the box next to the item that is responsible for automatically retrieving the IP address. Use the common DHCP network configuration protocol and query to get the servers available to you. The source IP-address is indicated as follows: "0.0.0.0". Then fill in the fields in the message with certain parameters. You will need to specify the unique and hardware address of the computer, as well as the last known IP. From the server you will receive an answer. It will specify a new address, as well as other parameters.

Domain Name System

In the next step, we need to register with the DNS server based on the selected address. You can do this by means of a customized interface, using the received data. We go to the resource No-IP. Click on the picture, specify the email address. This will start the registration. E-Mail will receive confirmation. Then we download the Updater application from the site, which provides automatic updating of the DNS server. Install the program. The "Dynamic DNS" icon will appear in the "Start". Click on this shortcut with the right mouse button, then go to "Configure". After the update, the program sets the IP address. It should be noted that the floating version does not allow using the computer as a web server. However, it is possible to receive information from the Network in automatic mode, since it is updated in real time.

Features of work

You should also discuss the possibility of changing the IP address. When you have a floating option, you can reconnect to the Web, but in case you have not yet been assigned a dynamic connection, the order of actions will be different. To determine which IP address you currently have, you can use the 2IP service.

Go to the main page of the site. There is a personal IP-address, which is currently active. In addition, here you can find information about the browser and the provider. Next, you must disconnect the Internet connection. We turn off all windows. In the lower right corner near the clock, click on the monitors icon. In the menu that opens, click the Disconnect or Disconnect button. After that, the icon disappears, and with it the connection. If you initially could not find the image of monitors or antennas, launch the "Start" menu. Select the "Connections" item, and then ask for the "Show All" system. Before you will open a window in which you want to select the active connection. Click on it with the right mouse button and select "Disconnect" or "Disconnect". If you are using Windows 7, the necessary monitor about the clock will be gray. Choose the connection, and then click on the "Disconnect" function. Finally, activate the Network again. That's all. Now you know how to make a floating IP and work with it.
