WOT: need computer help...., need to assign an IP address to a particular computer.... Options

[scottb]

on my network.

i have a linksys BEFSR41 and have 2 IP addresses through comcast (at least that is what they tell me).

i need to do the following:

find out my IP addresses

assign one of these addresses to my wifes work computer, and let the rest of the house use the other.


i have messed around within the router but as i don't know my ip addresses. i do an ipconfig and only get one ip address.

so any suggestions oh wise ones? my wife an i both work for the same company and the security system is such that only one log in per ip address is allowed (hence the need for 2).

hope this is clear enough....

thanks,

scott

You have two IP addresses and want one dedicated to your wifes puter and the other to go through a wireless or wired router. Some providers require you to register a single computer to each IP. You will then have to log into your router, set IP address, clone the MAC address so the router will register on the network, you can build anything out from there. Class C is a good way to go. If you have a network resource (printer or print server) you can put a hard address on that (easiest) and attach it to the network. Good luck. Not hard to do. You also want to have some security on your wireless. Either MAC address filtering or WEP security ( you will have to put this WEP security on your other computers.
