I've had @Home for the past 4 years. I had the same IP for the last 2 years. With the demise of @Home here in Phoenix we just switched to cox.net. Cox has warned everyone not use DHCP for the IP address because the IP addresses are not static. At first they said the lease would be 4 hours, but I have noticed they are now up to 24 hours. Interestingly enough though I have had the same address since day 1, about 45 days now. One of my co-workers has Roadrunner in Orlando and her address changes every couple of months.
>From what I hear the only way to have a permanent static address is to upgrade to whatever companies much more expensive business class. -----Original Message----- From: Mason Landrum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 25, 2002 8:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [gb-users] Cable Modem IP Lease Everyone, Just switched to a cable modem setup at home. They use DHCP for the IP setup. Those that have cable modem connections, how often does your IP change? Is there anyway to prevent this and always have the same IP assigned? For example, when I first setup the modem and DHCP is negotiated a certain IP address. Then I experimented with adding an EXT alias IP in addition to the previously DHCP assigned IP. Now when I reboot the GB I automatically get the IP I setup for the EXT alias as my main IP assigned by DHCP. Will this continue to always happen? Have I set up my GB to always request the same IP and now have a pseudo-static IP? Thanks in advance for your comments!
