I use a dail-up connection by using my mobile phone as the modem
My ip changes everytime I connect it pls help
If your IP changes every time you use it then you have to go into the Modem settings of your phone and change it from Dynamic to Static which therefore changes the setting from a changing IP Address every time you use it to a Static IP Address which pretty much means you keep one IP Address every time you use your mobile phone as a modem, This does however make your connection more vulnerable to attack against “hackers” and among other thing, not really recommended. Hope this helped.

If you are using a cell phone, chances are you won’t be able to setup a static IP. Most cell phone providers don’t want you to host things on their network without paying more.
Great Tutorial Man…. Helped me a great time..
Hello this is amazing site! really cool and it will be a new inspirations for me
Hi ya um I have the hosts but i have like 32 of them that go hosts then numbers then back up i have no exact host file.
Hello:
I am looking to set up an email server that will allow HTTPS connections as opposed to HTTP. THis is due to security reasons.
Can the same process steps described within your videos be utilzed to develop an HTTPS compliant email server?
What are the variances involved?

i am using windows sever 2003 how i configure squaremail on my local network
please tell me
Hi,
I use synology NAS server which occupies my local IP 192.168.1.6 and already uses port 80,
so when I forward or open a new port for my computer (to be used as server for other things) it tells me it will give me port 8080. When I enter my IP adres as defined by IP config so the real IP adress which shoud be public , I get acces to my router 192.168.1.1
Is there some conflict (obvious there is) I also tried to enter my public IP adress with colon 8080 and /:8080 but no result (error message), any idea
Thanks
Danse
additional information, the local IP adres from my computer is 192.168.1.7 so a different number then my NAS server 192.168.1.6 and different from my router 192.168.1.1
Still it does not work

please help me about email server it say connection dropped by imap server…………… plezeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I had a confusion at the end about login as well; for those who got:
ERROR: CONNECTION DROPPED BY IMAP SERVER at squirrelmail…
Go to hmailserver, check in advanced tab on the left, under IP ranges for AUTO-BAN – this would have been created after invalid login attempts.
Then, even after correctly logging in (hmailserver email = USER) at squirrelmail login page it still wouldn’t work.
FIX: delete AUTO-BAN entry from left menu + change MYCOMPUTER priority to 30 to prevent banning you in the future.
Hope this helps.
PLEASE copy paste to others with same problem so they can be helped out.
P.S. THANK YOU FOR THE AWESOME TUTORIALS, TINKERNUT.
