Here are the step-by-step instructions of how to set up a fixed IP address with Hinet ADSL.
How to Set up a Fixed IP Address with Hinet ADSL
A. First You Have to Set up a Hinet e-mail address
-
Enter in your current Hinet ADSL ID and password. (ID is an 8-digit number. Password is 8 alphanumeric characters.)
-
Click on que4 ding4 (“Sure”)
-
Then you will be re-directed to msa.hinet.net/cgi-bin/msc_chk_access_v2
-
Now you have to choose a Hinet e-mail address. It has to be composed of two “words”. (The address will have a dot between the two words.) Each “word” must start with a lowercase English letter, but the rest of the “word” can by any alphanumeric character.
-
Choose any password, but it must be 6 to 8 characters in length. Enter your password twice.
-
Click on song4 chu1 zi1 liao4 (“Submit”).
-
Then it will tell you your new Hinet e-mail address.
-
Click que4 ding4 (“OK”).
B. Now Set up a Fixed IP Address
-
Click the red words at the very bottom of the webpage (on the left side) that mean “I agree to accept all the articles of this contract” (wo3 tong2 yi4 jie1 shou4 ben3 qi4 yue1 tiao2 kuan3)
-
You will be re-directed to this website: service.hinet.net/2004/adslstaticip_accept.php
-
In the middle of the webpage, you will see two blank orange rectangles, one above the other one. In the first rectangle, enter your Hinet username (an 8-digit number). In the second rectangle, enter your Hinet password (8 alphanumeric characters).
-
Then click que4 ren4 (“Confirm”) (the orange button to the lower right of the two orange rectangles).
-
Then you will be re-directed to this website: lcss.hinet.net/adsl_staticip_2.pl
-
Check (by clicking) both squares on this form. (The first question asks you whether you want a fixed IP. The second question asks you to confirm your Hinet e-mail address.)
-
Then click the small box at the bottom of the webpage that says que4 ding4 (“Sure”).
-
Then you will be re-directed to this website: lcss.hinet.net/adsl_staticip_3.pl
-
This website says “Congratulations! You now have a fixed IP address!”, and then it will tell you your current IP address (four numbers separated by dots). The range of IP addresses is 220.129.0.0 to 220.143.255.255.
