Static IP at server or router?

[madaxe2]

Where do i put my static ip adress?

do i put it on my router, if so what do i set my pc to?

or do i still use dynamic on my router and put it on my pc? This does not seem logical to me for some reason?

i have set up my forwarding with yahoo so im one step closer

You do whatever is needed on your router, depending on your ISP. Put a static address on your server, otherwise you'll need to keep changing the forwarding when your server's address changes.

madaxe2,

This really depends on your ISP. An ISP that I worked for sold "static IP addresses" to its customers, yet required those customers to use DHCP. In reality, it was a "reserved IP address", not a truly static IP.

If your ISP requires you to use DHCP on your router, then you shouldn't have to configure anything beyond port forwarding to your server.

If your ISP wants you to set up your router for a real static IP address, you'll need to configure your router's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway manually.

In short, check with your ISP.
