Don't! Netvision has promised me a static IP for almost two years (I got
cable 1 week after opening day) and they have never been able to deliver.
What 012 wants you to do is to connect to the cable network with DHCP and
then tunnel to them. I don't know which protocol they use, but I have
had good luck using pptp with netvision.
Many of us have dailers called cablestart. Someone posted one here
and they sort of grew from that.
Hints: If you have more than one computer set up your own name server, and
make sure ALL your MTUs are small enough to fit the tunnel,
Geoff.
