My DHCP IP address from my Cable Modem is very static. I can leave the box off for days and it'll keep the same IP. But if I change NICS it'll give me another IP. Others in my office on a different ISP say their IP's change about once every month/two months. I've had my IP for a year, very handy for the VPN.

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!
