Hi guys,
My ISP gives me a static IP together with PPPoE username and password. I have zyxtel prestige 600 modem router(1 port) and also (4-port)linksys router.
I'd like to use my advantages on my static ip so i install a webserver IIS on my pc running windows xp pro operating system.
Bad news is everytime i connect zyxtel modem directly to my pc, i get different ip so it means my modem is dhcp. And theres no possiblity i can browse my webserver using other network but the static ip given can be ping.
And if i connect my modem to the router and router to my pc connecting to the isp using dhcp, it also gives the same dhcp ip. But when i tried using pppoe connection on my linksys router entering my user and pass to connect to my isp, it gives me the static ip. and i tried to ping that ip using other network it gives me request time out.
it seems when using pppoe connection i got request timeout when i tried pinging, but when i use dhcp connection, i can ping the ip but it generates another ip to my modem and router.
can someone give brief explaination and solution on what is happening on my connection? Is there any possiblity that i can make my webserver and pages to work. am i having the problem or is it my isp and their pppoe connection?
thanks in advance
