My IP changes all the time with no warning and i don't restart my router or anything. Is there a way i can't fix it to one IP address that doesn't change?.

I don't know a lot about IP addresses and stuff, but it might be because your IP address is "dynamic". There's a tool available on PortForward.com to turn your IP address static. That's what I've been using and it seems to work fine for me.

Home network and the world wide web are different.
This will only allow you to use a static IP in your network. This won't effect the external IP of your home network at all (router). You have to contact your provider (those who give you the IP you can use in the internet) to use a static IP for your network (external).

I recommend installing no ip, which will give you an ip that will auto update if yours changes.
