It's a dhcp setup now, it used to be just static setup, but now they link your MAC address to your dhcp lease. So, yes, if you swap NICs, you have to either call them or send them an email letting them know about it. OTOH, I've never had to wait more than a half hour or so for that to take effect. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | The world really isn't any worse.
