Your external IP isn't used on the lan. Everything has its own internal IP and forwards their traffic onto the gateway which then strips off the internal ip and replaces it with the external ip. Then when the requested traffic comes back, the gateway forwards it back to the internal ip that requested it.

Internet is a public lan?

All IPv4 IP addresses can be divided into two major groups: global, or public, or external - this group can also be called 'WAN addresses' — those that are used in the Internet, and private, or local, or internal addresses — those that are used in the local network (LAN).


What are the effects if IP Address do not exist?

How do you fix a lan connection with limited or no connectivity?

Can we connect to the tcp server running in the same lan using the public ip rather then using lan ip?

Yes, but the data traffic will traverse the Internet to reach that public IP address. If the server has another network interface in the same subnet as the connecting device, you can constrain the traffic to the LAN. If the connecting device is instructed to use the public IP address to reach the server, the traffic will first travel to the LAN gateway, which determines the best route for the traffic to reach public addresses. Typically, this would be via an ISP that the gateway is somehow connected to. Please specify your goal in your question to get an optimal strategy as an answer.


Ip address but no default gateway?

Having a valid IP address without a default gateway will result in network traffic staying within your LAN. Meaning, your computer lacks the ability to send data out of your network, preventing you from accessing resources outside your network, such as the internet.


Using command prompt how do you find your ip address?

Answer In the Windows command prompt, type "ipconfig". That will list basic information, including your IP address, of all your network interfaces. Be warned this will only return you your local IP address. That means if you're on a LAN, then you'll get the IP address of that network and not your WAN IP address. *************************** Note: It is "ifconfig" on a Linux operating system.

Why does Comodo block my lan connection and how do i set it to allow my mapped drives and lan chat to function?

found it!! ok, for anyone who needs the answer.. "you configure CFP by a two-step process. Go to Security/Tasks/Add a Zone; give it a name and define the IP range (or go with the default, which is the entire subnet). Then go to Security/Tasks/Define a New Trusted Network; use the Zone you just created. This will put two rules at the top of Network Monitor; the first will Allow IP Out from Any to Zone, and the 2nd will Allow IP In from Zone to Any - this allows unencumbered communication across your LAN."
