Thanks, for someone not too technically inclined, what would one have to do. I understand what a static IP means, but from my understanding most "normal" home IP's regularly can change. Assuming I'd have to change that somehow. I'm not sure what portforwarding means, or how I'd go about doing it. Sorry, these are probably basic questions but I'm just learning as I go.

If your provider claims to give you a static ip, i guess its good enough, about the portforwarding, login to your router and check it on google.
