IP shown in program different than one at whatismyip.com

[InternetDominus]

Hello,

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate. I just downloaded the program, installed it, click on make it static, but when I visit whatismyip.com it shows the IP provided by my ISP which changes about every week.

I tried the randomize option, I see that the IPs change on the program, but my on whatismyip.com is still the same one that my ISP gives me.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

The program is for setting your computers local IP to static, not your internet IP (Which is in your router)

You cant set your internet IP to static. Your ISP makes you pay for that

Ok. Something new learned today 

So, if I want to host my website at my PC using Wamp, is your program the way to go? Or, do I have to use No-Ip.com and port forwarding?

Thanks,

No-Ip.com and port forwarding

Make your computers IP static so the IP doesn't change on you and breaks the port forwarding rule.

Ok. You say make your "computer" IP static, and that breaks the port forwarding rule, so that would be using your program, right?

Or, do you mean what you stated on your first reply: that I would have to get Internet static IP service from my ISP?

I ask this because my current router does not support port forwarding, and I was thinking of getting one, but if getting an Internet static IP or using your programs is easier to setup, then I would do that.

Thanks,

I meant with my program for your computer.

But first thing to do is get a modem that will allow port forwarding
