I recently called my ISP, to check if their DNS servers' IPs have changed. While talking to the representative, he mentioned something regarding direct connections using DHCP. I asked him more about it, and got the answer that I only have to call Aruzey Zahav, verify the matter with them and the PPTP tunnel issue will be gone and I will connect directly using DHCP. I`m using cables, by the way. Well, I happily called AZTV and told the representative that I was sent to them by my ISP and that I had to verify with them the cancellation of the dialer. To my surprise, I was answered that my ISP must first email them, and only then may I be allowed to connect directly through DHCP.
I called back to Internet Zahav (which are said ISP) and was answered
by another representative. After telling him the matter, I was told that
there no such option for using direct connection, and when asked why, receieved
mumbled reasons about 'security' and such. Even though I assured the representative
that I am well aware about my computer's security, my request was refused.
The point in this post - I was wondering if there is anyone here who connects
directly using DHCP. Using the PPTP dialer slows my boot-process by ~15 seconds,
since the PPTP tunnel apparently takes some time to be established. Also, if I
wasn't using a GRE tunnel, my Netfilter matters would be less complicated.
