I have satellite Internet service providing a single IP address. I can only connect with one PC on my network. I've been told to install a router ahead of our Netgear 16-port switch which is what you've described here and it makes perfect sense but will any router work for this application or do I need something very specific?

Nope, pretty much any consumer-level router should do the trick. It's perhaps the single most common reason people get, need and use a router at home.

1/ Do I need to pay for a static IP address from the ISP? Ex. 125.25.5.1
2/ If I get this static IP address - I would use it for my router. Can I then create a range for all devices connected to this router? Example 125.25.5.2 - 125.25.5.30...
Thanks
Provi

1) typically, yes, but it depends on your ISP. 2) typically NO. You would have to get those IP addresses from your ISP as well. Usually you would get local IP addresses (192.168.x.x) behind your router.

can every computer with a external ip address able to ping every other computer to its external ip address.
I am unable to ping my computer connected using one ISP with my friends ip connected using another ISP provider.

Sometimes ping is blocked. Usually it works, but not all the time.

What causes multiple computers set for DHCP to fail to the internet. If a static address is assigned it will connect, but it will not connect via DHCP. Or if it does, it drops out eventually. This happens with both ethernet and wireless clients.

I'd suspect a problem with the router or gateway device. If you have a consumer router, try just rebooting it.

WRONG! A router connects two (or more) networks together. Look up what a gateway and proxy are. And read a book. It's always funny to see n00bs writting articles for other n00bs trying to sound like they know what they are doing.

I have a sonicwall TZ 180 and I want to make 3 servers static. For some reason I cannot get the sonicwall to work with static ip addresses that I set in windows (TCP/IP settings). It works just fine with DHCP on router, but I cannot get the servers to work statically. Am I missing something?

If it can change, you have a dynamic IP address, no matter what your ISP says.
What you want, it seems, is a "static" address.

My ISP has given me what they say is a fixed IP address but when I switch off my PC my IP address gets assigned to another PC somewhere else. I don't use a router so can't leave it switched on with the fixed ip address stored in it.
My ISP says "it happens" and I'm "unlucky" to loose my IP address, is this heard of or is there a way around this?

I was trying to connect to my internet with a Compaq laptop that was given to me. I have Charter High Speed Internet. It will not connect and after the Charter IT person came out to my house, he said that the Compaq laptop that was given to me has a bad IP address. How do I correct a bad IP address in the laptop?

A group of IP addresses are assigned to your ISP, it will give you one of it, or they will do something to get one ip address from that group each time you connect to the internet.

If you do some investigations and some look-ups using http://www.ipgp.net , you will see that IP's assigned to each country are someway grouped.

There's no way that I know of. Your IP address is fundamental to locating your computer on the network. Trying to "fooling" it would only break the communication.

Is there any way to fool IP reading websites into thinking you have a different IP from the same computer? For example some websites limit the amount of downloads one IP address can make. Is there any way to make it think I have a different IP address even though I'm on the same computer?

Run a command prompt (usually in Programs->Accessories) and type your ipconfig in that.
