Yes, this is exactly my set up here, for my second IP at least - my first machine predates this arrangement, and in fact, I don't think it's rebooted since the change, so it still has a static setup. This whole arrangement has to do with the line carrier and not dca.net, or at least that's my understanding. But, to answer your original question, the machine that has a dhcp connection has not changed it's IP in the year it's had this arrangement. They will also supply correct reverse dns for you if you wish. > BTW... DCA is doing this for $44/month. Verizon wanted $80 for one static > IP and in the end they claimed they could not do it. Is Verizon just > incredibly stupid or am I missing something here! I don't think you're missing anything. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | Contemptuous lights flashed flashed | | steve@lobefin.net | across the computer's console. -- | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
