I didn't realize you pay them $5 a month for the extra IP. The ISP should know what is going wrong. You tried them, they appear to have been useless. I really can't tell you much more info. As for paying the $5/mn, stop that service and get a router. $5/mn translates to $60 a year for the 2nd IP. Had you bought a router instead, you likely could have picked one up for $20-$30 on sale and never pay another dime. Then you would also be able to connect more than two computers, and be running a basic firewall to help minimize outside attacks. I notice you didn't say what you did with the old iMac you upgraded to the new one. Per chance, is it still connected to your network and could it be grabbing the other IP address? Also, do you have any other devices connected to your network that could be grabbing an address?
