I want to have a backup internet connection for my webserver. Is round robin DNS the answer?

No.\n\nRound robin DNS will evenly distribute your traffic between two or more IP addresses.\n\nMost likely BGP-4 is the answer you're looking for.\n\nYou'll need a router with enough memory to handle BGP-4.

get a server called "RaidenFTPD" and setup a domain at http://afraid.org\nthey explain how to setup dynamic DNS

Just because you can PING an IP address doesn't mean that there's a web server behind that address. There are plenty of addresses that will respond to PING but will not serve web pages.

It can't be done with perfect reliability, but the general way to do this is to serve different pages depending on the requesting IP address.\n\nI found some code to do it here: http://www.geobytes.com/GeoDirection.htm\n\nGood luck!

you need a webserver and DNS servers. You can find hosting services online i.e. godaddy.com.

For that you have to setup a webserver on your home computer with Java installed in it. The two most used webservers are Apache and IIS. Then you have to buy a domain from a Registrar or directly from the ICANN called mybooksite.com. Next you have to point the DNS of your computer to that of the domain. A wonderful tutorial on how this can be done on a Windows machine can be found here: http://www.ricocheting.com/server/

There is a web hosting server, which has got different virual folders setup as websites...more like a schema...those folders are locked with a referenced IP address. So when you type in the website address...DNS reosloves the name to the IP address...and gives you the website to  your browser!\n\nHelps??

And it may be handy to get a dynamic DNS address from dynip or some other such dynamic dns provider.\n\nOR you could get a static IP address from your internet provider and get a REAL DNS entry that points to that IP address.\n\nApache is a good way to go.  Well worth learning too.  There is lots of documentation on the web (see google or something) on how to install it.  I have installed apache before, and just use search engines to find good guides that walk me through it.

yes you can.\n\n1) each pc on your network you need to give a set ip address, as most routers give each computer an ip address when the computer starts up.\n\n2) in your router setup you would have to also look at port fowarding, this so outside world requests can get thorugh to a specif machine, you should have some already pre set but not operation, i have a linksys, i give an app name such as http, set the external port to 80, internal port to 80, it will ask for an internal ip address. this would be the ip of your web server in my case 10.0.0.3 and save changes.\n3) you would then need some sort of dns lookup service. if you join no-ip.com which is free, then go to download there software onto your web server. my site is shoey.no-ip.info (its not up as im upgrading my server) then this will keep no ip up to date with your connection.\n4) you would follow similar processes for setting up ftp etc\n\nthis is only a really rough quick, guide. if you e-mail me what router you got, id be able to give you something a bit more to your settings

change the DNS server you are using. It is not responding properly

In a corporate network, you want a Static IP for any servers or any computers hosting resources or providing any kind of service (web servers, printers, routers, file servers, etc). That's because a Dynamic IP does not guarantee a machine will keep the same IP all the time, and if a server/service provider changes IP, the clients may not be able to find it.  \n\nIt's the same for the Internet--- if people/web clients/whatever external computer will be coming to your computer to retrieve information or services, it has to be able to find the resource.  \n\nThis is usually facilitated by DNS which keeps track of server/service names and their corresponding IP's; DNS updates to client machines is sometimes slow, so the clients may go looking in the old location (old IP) if the server changes IP, and the DNS updates themselves may be done manually so the DNS server may not even be aware that your server has changed IP.

Fairly simple, install Apache which is a freely available web server package (Windows and Linux) and once it is installed you can type http://127.0.0.1 in your browser and you should see the default home page.\nIf you need help in setting it up the Apache site has some excellent FAQ.\n\nOnly one thing, check that your firewall does not allow port 80 (HTTP traffic) inbound otherwise people will see your web pages, unless of course you want them to.\nYou can setup Apache to limit only local traffic to the web pages via the config file.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nCheers!

Web server can log your IP, and then write to your provider and ask MAC of IP address by speceifing date and time of connection. I think provider can log all sessions.

Just install IIS or use Apache - setup the website on any port (most likely port 80 if you don't want to type the port in).  Hook up to  your router (usually 192.168.0.1) and use port forwarding and choose whatever port above and point it to your internal IP of your server.\n\nIf you want to have a domain, just setup one with DNS2GO which will automatically configure a dynamic IP.  GOOD LUCK!

I have been hosting a website off my broadband connection ( 3Mb ) for a while now . \n\nYou will need to have a static IP address or you will have to pay for a dynamic DNS service .\n\nYou can get free DNS for your IP at www.no-ip.com\n\nAs far as web servers go , I have been hosting off a linux box using apache .\n\nI have one system running both windows and Linux AT THE SAME TIME .\n\nThis is called virtualisation . Check out www.vmware.com .\n\nWith this you can run windows , and then boot up linux or in fact any other 32bit OS in another window . This saves you have to buy extra hardware ...

Get a connection from some if the ISP's that the previous asnwerer has told you. \nIf you need to know how its done, google for DHCP.
