How do I lock my local IP?

Ok, there have a method how to lock your IP which is you need to access to you modem.


I am using Aztech 4 port + Wireless DSL600EW.


1. First, open Internet Explorer. Then type 192.168.1.1 on the address bar.

2. Login to your modem by default username and password both are same which is "admin".

3. Go to "Advanced" --> "LAN" --> "LAN Clients"

4. On the right side, type in your local IP, for example "192.168.1.2" follow by 192.168.1.3 until 192.168.1.254. ("192.168.1.1" is your Modem IP, so "192.168.1.2" is your next local IP.)

5. Hostname is you computer name and then leave the "MAC Address" blank if you don't know.

6. Click "Apply" then click "Save Settings".

This is the example, where to find you "hostname"
