    Setting Up a static IP Address



    Hi,
    I am trying to make a server out of my computer just to have some fun with it. I have downloaded Apache and I got a domain name from DynDNS. But in order for me to access that domain name I have to forward port 80 at my router, and to do that, my computer needs a static IP address. How can I set my computer to have a static IP address? (I am not talking about having an external static IP address that you have to pay for it, because I have dynamic ip address.)
    Sorry if I haven't been much clear with my question, and thank you in advance for any help.

    From commandline, use ifconfig (read the manpage!), or the graphical "network" tool to configure it with a nice GUI.
