Question

Hi

My system has a dynamic shared IP provided to me by my ISP. I want to give my IP address to a friend so she can allow access to her server for requests coming from my IP.

Can someone please tell me how I can find a static IP address to give to her?

Thanks a lot for any help...

www.whatismyip.com

I recommend also using www.no-ip.com where you can pick an alias like, myserver.no-ip.org, install software which will look at your ip and update it accordingly. That way you can just give your fiends etc myserver.no-ip.org as address and the software will update the ip when it changes.

You might also be interested in DynDNS.

Using the proposed things like DynDNS.com will give you a "static" host name, but not a static IP address. If that friend really needs to know an IP address for the filtering then you're out of luck.

Answer 4

No-IP and DynDNS provide host names which can be updated whenever your IP address changes. Both provide update clients and most routers natively support one or more Dynamic DNS providers.

Here is a list of other dynamic DNS providers.

Answer 5

http://www.whatismyip.com will give you the "public" IP address of your machine.
