Part 4 - Leasing a Block of 8 Static IPs

QWest with Windows Live started leasing Static IPs on 8/29/2008, previous to this you had to change your ISP to QWest.net.

In order to get a block of Static IPs from Qwest, you have to go to their site online. Calling customer service will do no good, they can only be acquired online.

The link to order Static IPs from QWest with Windows Live is:
https://myaccount.qwest.com/MasterWebPortal/appmanager/home/staticIP

You must go to your ISP to get Static IPs, there isn't any other option.

During the process of leasing your Static IPs, you will need to register with ARIN to identify the user of the Static IPs.

When you have completed the process, you will get a set of 8 IP Addresses. Some of these IP Addresses are reserved, and they can not be used with the exception of the Reserved Gateway IP Address.

Make sure you save a copy of this on multiple computers where you need to administer your network from.

You will make use of this information often.
