Tutorial: Setting Up a Static LAN IP (Mac)

Your LAN IP is the number that identifies your computer on your local network. There are many reasons you might need a LAN IP that never changes (a static IP). For example, some games require you to forward ports to play them. In order to forward ports on your router/modem, you need a static LAN IP. The same goes for hosting web sites or other servers.

Your LAN IP is only seen by those on your network. For your Internet IP (WAN), you need to purchase a plan from your Internet service provider which contains a static IP. You may have to upgrade to a business plan for this.
