Chapter 4. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP)
Note: In the tables below, please keep the following information in mind:
1. ISPs often supply the items marked * to your server by DHCP.
2. Some ISPs block outgoing HTTP connections, forcing you to use their proxy server. This interferes in a few minor ways with your server (e.g.,
the test for Internet connectivity will fail erroneously). However, using the ISP’s proxy server will normally work fine.
1. You receive a routable, static IP address
Information provided to you by your ISP:
• static IP address
• IP address of cablemodem or ADSL router ("gateway IP address")
• subnet mask
Order services from: Service List A
2. You receive a routable, dynamically assigned IP address and you elect to use a dynamic DNS service (We encourage you to review Appendix B:
Dynamic DNS Services for a discussion of dynamic DNS services.)
Information provided to you by your ISP:
• gateway IP address*
• subnet mask*
Information provided by dynamic DNS service:
• DNS service account name
• DNS service password
Order services from: Service List B
3. You receive a routable, dynamically assigned IP address and you elect not to use a dynamic DNS service OR your IP address is non-routable.
