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.
