How can you assign multiple static IP address to one router?

You just need to have multiple static ip addresses provisioned to you by your ISP and then have a router whose software is capable of handling it. Every windows XP computer can have multiple static ip addresses, and I use a version of Linux called coyote Linux for my router, which supports three static ip addresses and even allows port forwarding based on which public ip address the traffic is coming in on. I'm pretty sure most basic routers sold in stores don't have this capability and you would need a pricier, more advanced model. But Coyote Linux is free. Just fyi.


What is port forwarding in networking. What is the main purpose of port forwarding in router?

Well Port Forwarding is really only, opening ports and making them special to let a one connection on it. The main purpose for me is for gaming, you need to port forward for a game to run a dedicated server if the game allows, like Quake 3 arena, or GTA's, or Call of Duty's ect.

How do you port forward?

You access your router's configuration page. Then, you go to the page that has to do with the forwarding (Gaming,Applications,Security,etc). In there you type the port you will forward, TCP or UDP, and for which IP address.


Hi Sandra, I have a ?

Hi Sandra, I have a solution that should greatly reduce your dropped calls. I'm assuming you use a router. You'll need to perform a few steps. First, you'll need to go to start - type CMD and hit enter. A command prompt window should appear. Enter IPCONFIG and hit enter. Write down the ip address for your magic jack (match up the MAC address on the back of your magic jack to the results on the screen) (should be something like 192.xx.x.x). Second, you will need to log in to your router's control panel, and enter the port forwarding section. You will need to create two serices: Port Forwarding 1: Service Name:Magicjack 1, Service Type: UDP, Starting Port: 5060, Ending Port: 5060, Server IP Address: [your magic jack ip address], Port Forwarding 2: Service Name:Magicjack 2, Service Type: UDP, Starting Port: 5070, Ending Port: 5070, Server IP Address: [your magic jack ip address], Then save your settings, unplug your router, modem, magic jack, and computer. Restart them all, and your dropped calls should happen MUCH less. Let me know if this resolves your issues!
