you change it to a static IP

you may be able to specify the static IP on the router and not have to hardwire it into the PC
mine does that

To Port Forward
you need to reverse Port Out, which I believe is Starboard Home.

With which firewall?

( wheelybird http://www.creativecraving.co.uk/shops/the-aviary, Wed 14 May 2008, 14:39, archived)

Zone Alarms, with a Belkin Router.

( Ttssattsr I LOVE GOLDEN SUN., Wed 14 May 2008, 14:45, archived)

I take it
it's a broadband router and it's the ISP IP that's dynamic? Or do you mean that your PC has a dynamic IP from a DHCP pool?

( Ttssattsr I LOVE GOLDEN SUN., Wed 14 May 2008, 14:51, archived)

Well your router
ought to deal with that. There should simply be the option to set up port-forwarding. The router will know what its own IP is and rebuild the firewall rules accordingly.
I don't know anything about Zone Alarms, but naturally you'll need to open the ports you need on your PC too.

The dynamic IP issue would only really affect DNS lookups for a domain name pointing to your IP. You can get around that with dynamic DNS services like dyndns.com
( wheelybird http://www.creativecraving.co.uk/shops/the-aviary, Wed 14 May 2008, 14:55, archived)

yeah turn off all your windows/zone alarm firewalls until you get what it is working
then turn then back on and fix those to work

everyone has a dynamic ip pretty much don't they ?
portforward.com/routers.htm

just forward your ports and turn upnp on. if its bittorrent your doing.

your own computers i.p will probably be 192.168.0.2 or something. you will need to check.

Quite a few ISPs
give you a static IP. I've got a static IP. Hurrah!

No, just a normal home package.
Mind you, I joined the ISP when they were more tolerant of technically-minded people. I don't know if they offer it to new customers.
