How to get a real IP in my notebook?

I access internet via Internet sharing with my Polaris USB connection
I found my notebook would get a NAT ip (192.168.xxxx)
How can I do to get a real IP?

http://www.whatismyip.org/

I mean I want my notebook to get the real IP not NAT

your laptop have 1 ip for each nic wifi and wired and firewire and bluetooth nic
connected and then it have the loopback adaptor
in a console on your laptop you can type ipconfig and have them listed

Sorry my poor English
All I need is to access my notebook's web site by my friends
so I want a real IP to tell my friend
I can browse other web site by using Internet sharing
but my friend can not browse my web site if I use my Polaris to the Internet
I found there was some HTC USB modem driver to use.
but it seems no use on the Polaris

You have a web-server active on your notebook and it is connected in lan at your home, and you want to view this website from internet when you are in your friend's home: it's right?
If I've understand, you must point at the public IP address of your home's internet access (you can find it in site like http://www.whatismyip.org/), but before this, you must forward the port 80 in your router to the private address of your notebook.
Hoping that he was quite clear...
P.S.: Also my English is not the greatest ...

It was my understanding that with Internet Sharing on WM6, clients are placed into a DMZ and all incoming connections will go to the client.
That means that your web / ftp / etc server should work fine.
However, if your mobile provider makes you use a proxy to access the internet, then incoming connections are not possible.
I'm going to bet that this is what is happening to you, and there is nothing you can do to solve this problem.

how to connect my phone to laptop via wifi to surf internet?

hi greetings to all. I am new in this foum. I have bought a new smartphone and it brought me to this forum for support.
I have htc s710 with wm 6. Is is possible to access internet on the phone by connecting it to the laptop through wi-fi in adhoc mode? I tried connecting it, and connection was established, I was as well able to ping the phone from my laptop but i was unable to use internet. I want to use laptop as a wireless router.
in the laptop i have ethernet connection which brings internet to my home, and i have enabled ics in that. the wi-fi card has been assignd ip address 192.168.0.1, and mobile has ip assigned 192.168.0.2.
is it possible in this way?

If your notebook has a bluetooth module built in, establish a BT ActiveSync connection and your S710 will then use the computer's internet access automatically.

i dont hava BT in my laptop. I just have a external orinoco gold wi-fi card.
is it possible through that.

I've never tested it cause I use a WAP router. ICS worked crappy when I tried it.
Did you try using DHCP instead of setting a fixed IP on your S710? ICS offers DHCP services and IIRC depends on it. Also remember that you normally can't set a DNS server on WinMo. Does ICS offer its services on all network cards or don't you have to activate the card you want ICS to serve on in its settings?

Thanks for the response. I have not tried DHCP, let me see today if it works that way.

Hi, I searched this concern before cause I wanted to use wifi too in the office. I'm not sure where the thread that I read had been sucessfull but it did gave me the idea to set mine and get it working.
Basically I have LAN connection in the office, connected to my Dell Latitdue d600 and created ad hoc connection to my HTC Touch.
I opened network connections, and right click my lan connection, advance tab, and enable internet sharing using wireless connection, thats the only thing i did, after establishing the adhoc connection, IP address in Pc is the same, 192.168.0.1 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 hope you get it working. I dont have a smartphone to test it myself

Hi piper. my problem is fixed now. i connected the phone to the laptop at adhoc mode, applied static ip. then ran network setup wizard. after the setup was complete i changed the ip setings of the phone. i set the phone to acquire ip form dhcp server.

Well I have tried that on my windows xp machine. However, when you enable ICS then I think it will provide ip to connected devices via DHCP. I just enabled phone to acquire ip via DCHP by going to the phones, Connection manager -- > Settings --> WLAN Settings --> Connection status ---> Menu --> IP Address --> And select Use server - assigned IP address.
Step, first enable ICS in your laptop -- > apply ip address to your phone like 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0 and then connect your phone to your laptop in adhoc mode. Once the connection is established go to phone and change the ip address settings as given above ie. select server assigned ip address. i USED THIS MODE AS THERE WAS NO OPTION TO APPLY DNS IN THE PHONE.

[Q] how to access phone with dyndns?

I downloaded a dyndns client http://l6n.org/android/dyndns.shtml from this site, the application seems to work properly.
A normal DSL connection has an assigned IP and fixed (at least for a certain period of time), and the network cellualare how it works?
I tried not to use the dyndns client and type in the address bar, the real IP, but equally I can not reach my phone (I see the IP assigned to the phone is rather odd and is something like 1.x.xx . xx).
Is there any solution?

Port forwarding may need to be enabled.

Hi
If you external ip address is 10.xx.xx.xx, there si no way to access your mobile from outside directly, but what you can do is creating remotly a tunnel and forward the ports you want to access.
Try ConnectBot, it does quite well the whole thing.

RDP Setup

I am not sure if its the right forum to ask this question, but knowing the smart ppl we have here i hope i am wrong!
I just downloaded Remote RDP Enterprise 3.2 and i am trying to setup so i can connect to my home pc. I am using a router model WGT624 netgear router. I tried the port forwarding (had to setup custom PF, because it wouldnt let me add 3389 as a port on the services which offers through the router) as it was suggested but i think i might be doing something wrong because it just wont connect at all.
my PF on my router looks something like this:
# Service Name Start Port End Port Server IP Address
1 RDP 3389 3389 192.168.X.X
And when i goto whatismyip.com i have a different IP address: 67.234.x.x
on the app on my phone which IP address do i connect through?
Anyone use the same app and has a netgear router and knows how to set it up? or any documentation on how to get this thing working and can share it would be extremely helpful, its for my work!
Thanx so much in advance

Hi iknight8. I don't have that app but I'll try and help.
You need to connect to the external IP address (67.234.x.x) when you are on the internet and the internal IP (192.168.X.X) when you are on your internal network.
A good troubleshooting step would be to try connecting to you PC on the internal address when you are connected to your wifi. This should work with any of the port forwarding you have setup so if it doesn't then then you know it is a proble with the setting on the pc itself. Remote desktop has to be enabled in the computer settings and allowed on any firewalls you are using.

i tried connecting both but i get a Socket is not connected message!
if u can use it and let me know of the setting to make it work would be nice
Thanx again
p.s. wen i am on internal wifi network, same as pc and i put that PF ip addess, i get a mesage "no route to host"...

Do you have allowed RDP connection on PC?

I downloaded the app and the first time I tried it on my wifi I got the same error as you, no route to host. The problem was that I didn't enable remote desktop on my PC. Once I set it to allow connections from computers running any version of remote desktop it worked straight away.
This is what I did.
1. In the app, press the menu button and add.
2. I put in the IP address of my pc and port 3389.
3. On my PC I disabled the windows firewall.
4. Also on my PC (I'm using windows 7), I enabled remote desktop by going to start, right click computer, click properties, click remote settings and check the allow connections from computers running any version of resmote desktop radio button.
5. finally I connected my phone to my wifi and tapped on the connection I created in the app. It gave me my logon screen.
If you can get this working hopefully your port forwarding settings are corect and that will work too. Hope this helps.

MyCloud/Splashtop = Outside Home Network?

Can I use 3G or say my schools wi-fi to access my home computer?

If you're tethering from 3G, just make sure you portforward your router, and just put your external ip in the settings. Google ipchicken to find out your external ip.

Interesting.
But any idea how do I make my IP fixed?
It seems that the external IP changes whenever I make a new tether connection.
BTW, which port should I forward through?m My 2wire router ask only for the tcp/udp port for forwarding, it does not require me to key in any IP address.
Can you advice?
thanks.

To work around the dynamic external IP address you can set up a free account at DynDNS:
http://dyn.com/dns/dyndns-free/
The above link will set up a hostname for your IP address and when it changes, DynDNS will automatically update.
To forward the correct ports, go to the website below and choose the router model you have and then select "Splashtop Remote" from the list after that. (You'll get redirected to an AD, just click skip ad at the top right of the page)
http://portforward.com/
If you already know how to forward the ports, they are 6783 to 6785, both TCP & UDP

Splashtop can sign into a Google account and find itself regardless of networks. I've had no troubles hitting my computer from miles away using that method. Being said I nixed my loud and bought splashtop HD, easily with the money.

This is the best method, and easiest. I used my above solution when it wouldn't work with my Gmail account. But I already had DYNDNS set up for my media server so I only had to forward the ports.

Just a note/caveat they are correct that, no matter what, you are going to need to make sure your route is setup to make your computer connectable on those ports. Otherwise its just going to block the traffic thinking its malicious.
I have run into connectivity errors on some networks because they also block traffic on non-common ports, so if you occasionally cant find yourself that could be it.

thank guys!!
very infomative!

I tried everything.
I forwarded ports on my router.
Disabled my firewalls.
Changed to Static IP on my computer, then router, then both.
Made sure the ip was outside DCHP range.
Rebooted after every change.
Tried DynDNS, but I must be stupid because there's no way to enter a host address in splashtop.
Tried using external programs to set a static internal ip.
Set Splashtop to external/internal IP.
I don't know what the hell it is, but I just can't get this nonsense to work. I don't understand what's so easy about this for some people. I have comcast cable modem attached to n300v3 router over WAN, and nothing I try works. Been at this for 3 days. Time I quit.

Are you doing the google account link? That, along with making the ports pass through on my router, was all I did. Seriously, that is is. Comcast/xfinity with a belkin wifi router.
