The router in our office is assigning 192.168.1.x , and 10.x.x.x IP addresses automatically. How do i standardize it's assigning of ip addresses as 10.x.x.x? The workstations in our office is set to obtain ip address automatically.
Usually routers provide an HTML interface for a connected device to login. Here it might be 192.168.1.0 or 10.x.x.0.You have to login to the router, and depending upon the model of the router, you can configure the ip address range for the network.

I am using fiber internet service that company give me a device which assign me local ip like 192.168.0.1 ,2,3 and so on to my computer/ Laptop . but I want to change my local area ip like 172.15.15.1 etc. how to route my Ip
Thanks
Well since the ip is assigned by the service provider they are probably using DHCP server to assign you ip. So you are getting those segment ip's, these are basically private class c ip address. In order to get different range of IP's you can put your intermediate router and configure it to provide private class B IP address.You might need a cross cable to connect both the routers.
Very Much confused about assigning IP address to WAN Interface and LAN Interface on Router/Firewall.
I know the process of assigning IP address but don't know which IP address to assign. Support My default gateway for ISP is 14.141.46.129, then what IP should I assign to my WAN Interface? And what Subnet Mask I have to assign?
Now What IP address I should assign to LAN Interface? And what Subnet Mask I have to assign?
After Assigning IP, I have to get Internet access from My LAN interface to WAN Interface.....
How to find the route to WAN Interface so that I Can ping google.com??
First, 14.141.46.129 is a valid IP address. The WAN interface needs a public IP address which should be given by your ISP provider.you can covert through cyberoam interface A port for-wan, B port for local lan & new range of 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.255 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 as u need you have to covert in subnetmask 192.168.2.1/32 to as per your needing (You assing your local ip for Lan The LAN interface can be in the range 192.168.2.2-254 with a mask of 255.255.255.0, )
First, 14.141.46.129 is not a valid IP address.
The WAN interface needs a public IP address which should be given by your ISP provider.
The LAN interface can be in the range 192.168.1.2-254 with a mask of 255.255.255.0
How do I get the internal IP address and port of the local machine in a cross-platform way? Not internal within the LAN, but the ISP, so that other users of the ISP can connect? Is connecting to a VPS with a public IP enough to get the external IP and port outside the ISP? How to get the ISP subnet mask to know when another internal IP is within the NAT?
edit: Probably don't need this. NAT punch through is enough. Am I right that router's don't have the same traversal rules as ISP's?
A NAT's public IP address is its external IP address. I don't understand what you mean by internal IP address. By internal address usually is meant a device's local address.
All the users of an ISP is in local LAN if the ISP has only one NAT under which all the private IP address is assigned. Some ISPs has nested NATs. In that case users under different NATs are in different network.
You can get your NAT's external IP:Port by sending a stun request to a stun server. From the server's reply you can get your NAT's external/public IP:Port. If the users of an ISP are not in local LAN but under different NATs then using their external IP:port they can communicate.
Im new to networking,If I have a window server and in that server I have a normal soho router, will that server assign the ip address to each device? or will that router do it. What I've learned is that the server is suppose to be the DHCP but sometimes if you plug a router directly in the server it kicks the server off and the router starts to assign the ip address. If that is so, how would you fix that?
Most routers will take on the role of a DHCP Server out-of-the-box. That is, they will distribute ip addresses to whatever DHCP Client requests an address.
By default, a Windows server will not have set up a fully configured DHCP Server.
By default a Windows machine (either client or server) and most other networked devices will have set their network interface to be a DHCP Client.
Therefore, by simply plugging in your Windows server to one of your router's LAN ports will make the router set the Windows server's network interface to the next available ip address using DHCP.
If you were to connect more devices to the router's LAN ports it will still be the router that assigns those extra devices an ip address.
Ideally you want only one DHCP server in your network.
Also, if you want your Windows server to always have the same ip address you can do two things:
Log in to the router and set a fixed ip address for your Windows server network card's unique MAC address.
Modify the router's DHCP range (e.g. from .10 to .200) so it leaves some addresses free (e.g. .1 to .9 and from .201 to .254). Then set your Windows server network card's fixed IPV4 address to a fixed address (e.g. .210). You may also need to set a DNS server then.
This is only briefly skimming the subject of IPV4 networks, DHCP and friends so when you have some time try to read the wikipedia pages for them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol
Server assigns your public IP address, in fact it assigns your router a public IP address.
While the router assigns each device connected a local IP address.
With respect to your router, the IP address server assigns it is its IPv4 address and the addresses router assigns to its clients are IPv6 address.
When you browse the internet through your router, the router reads your requests and responds according to that IPv6 address and when the router requests something to the server, server sees it as its IPv4 address. :)
I have 2 machine. One's IP is 169.254.41.172 and the other is 169.254.72.175. They are both connected to the same router. Why is the 'subnet?' different? I'm referring to the 3rd number between 41 and 72.
These are linklocal addresses, they use 255.255.0.0 as subnet mask, so both addresses are in the same subnet.
These addresses are generated automatically, if you want more control over them you will either need a DHCP server, or configure static IP addresses.
Your router is not acting as a DHCP server it seems.
169.254 is a special range usually for Windows machines when they can't obtain an IP address automatically.
From: http://packetlife.net/blog/2008/sep/24/169-254-0-0-addresses-explained/
Occasionally you may encounter a host which has somehow assigned
itself an IP address in the 169.254.0.0/16 range. This is a
particularly common symptom of Windows machines which have been
configured for DHCP but for whatever reason are unable to contact a
DHCP server. When a host fails to dynamically acquire an address, it
can optionally assign itself a link-local IPv4 address in accordance
with RFC 3927. Microsoft's term for this is Automatic Private Internet
Protocol Addressing (APIPA).
These machines are not getting an IP address. The beginning octets of "169.254" identify these addresses as "link-local".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address
For what it's worth, the addresses are not on different subnets as the full link-local definition is 169.254.0.0/16, or a "Class B" subnet. That being said though, there's no way you'll be getting these computers to communicate any time soon. Is the router powered on, are the cables connected and are there uplink lights on the actual RJ45 jacks on both the router and computers? Is DHCP enabled on the router?
