The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

IP address question

Asked by SebastianAguilera in Miscellaneous Networking, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Service (DNS)

Tags: address, dlink, ip

Hi guys,

I have computer connected to the Internet via a DLINK DI-604 router with up to date firmware.  Ad-Aware, Ad-Watch,and PC-Cillin are running [all up to date]. I use Win XP but do not have the Microsoft Internet Connection Firewall on.

I notice that when I run ipconfig I get the following IP address:

Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
>>> IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.100      <<<<<
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : fe80::220:edff:feb5:2c45%4
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1

Tunnel adapter Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface:

        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 3ffe:831f:4004:1952:0:fbda:bd7d:dc9
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : fe80::5445:5245:444f%5
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : ::

Tunnel adapter Automatic Tunneling Pseudo-Interface:

        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : fe80::5efe:192.168.0.100%2
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :  


When I have the router connected and check my IP on www.whatismyip.com for example, the site correctly detects my IP as "66.130.bla1.bla2" which is the same address that IPconfig reports when I disconnect the router totally.

Is this normal? or is ipconfig supposed to report the correct IP even though my router is connected? Do I need to configure something specifically for this to happen?

The reason behind my question is related to online gaming in the following way: If I try playing an online capable games such as Halo or NHL2004, the game sees my IP address as 192.168.0.100 and nobody can connect to me. I can however connect to their game if they provide me with their IP address. I wish to configure my system so that I can keep my router and have those applications recognize my proper IP address. Also I have opened up the necessary ports for each individual application using PC-Cillin but not necessarily on the router as well. Do I have to open up the same ports on both PCCillin and my D-lInk router? Any ideas or explanations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Seb
